So I have a ton of frags I need to mount but my urchin is very good at ungluing frags from where I put them. So I’ve never used anything else than that before. What do you you use to mount your frags? I’ve seen some mixed opinions and just trying to get a most popular general opinion.

I use ecotech CG coral glue. I have 3 urchins and have never had an issue with them knocking frags over.

Epoxy glue sandwich is the most reliable. Glue on frag, ball of epoxy, back into tank to set for 5 mins. Take out frag, glue on epoxy ball, place frag on rock, press, twist, hold for 30 secs, done.

I’ve tried various glue gels (from dollar tree to Gorilla Glue). And my urchin seems to target those corals and succeeds at popping them loose (regardless of amount of glue).
