Just got in some new corals shipped by FedEx. Assuming it was a rough ride and one of my Zoas is about 90% detached. Can I just super glue it back down? If so, about how long does it take super glue to dry when wet? I don;t have instant set unfortunately.

If you want to put it on a different frag you can go in with a razor blade and cut the rest off. Otherwise just use a LITTLE super glue and spray on a little bit of fresh/rodi/distilled water mixed with baking soda to cure the glue instantly

Glue back down, or glue to rock. You can also put on sand and let it attach to sand before glueing.

Use the gel kind. It dries super fast and works under water.
