Gluing coral to glass

[Waters]

What is everyone doing to glue coral directly to glass? I have a few montis that I have been trying to glue down to the bottom glass using superglue and coral putty. They only seem to hold for about 3-4 days than the flow moves them to the other side of the tank. I just need them to hold long enough to start encrusting :)

i'm assuming you are trying to glue the coral itself and nothing else;

glue a small piece of rock or frag plug on the glass. glue the coral on the rock. profit?

No.....it is glued to a frag disk then glued to the glass....which is why it doesn't make sense that the glue won't hold lol.

If you’re never gonna want to see the glass again. Take a bit of sand paper and scratch the glass so the glue has something to grab

maybe try a tile circle or square? should be heavy enough to stay put and large enough to help the monti's base out and grow over the tile.

Did you scrape the glass? Also sometimes a small ball of epoxy glue the frag plug to top of epoxy then some super glue on under side of epoxy and double bang it

I did not scrape it, but I did try the putty and glue together. I will try again with cleaning the glass first.

I thought about that but I was trying to keep the bottom as clean as possible without adding anything additional. Might come to that though,
