Hey everybody,
Not too long ago I got a Toadstool from a neighborhood dealer and I want to take the leather off of its initial rock and attach it to the side of a bigger piece of rock. How would I do that with out using a rubber band to allow the coral to attach itself to the rock naturally? I was thinking about using Gel Superglue but I don’t know if that might harm the coral or prevent it from anchoring down to the rock.

Super glue won't work. You can gently peel it off its original rock.
3 options

would try propping it in the place you want it.

put it in small container with rubble. It will attach to the rubble and you super glue the rubble in place

let it sit in the sand. The leather should attach to the sand and that will let you super glue in place.
