I keep on trying to superglue my coral to the rock, but after a day it falls off!
Im using Cyanoacrylate superglue gel.
What could be the problem?

You have to use a lot of glue. If at least 3 of your fingers arent stuck together, you didnt use enough. The gel works better than the liquid stuff.

What type of coral are you trying to glue? Some corals will slime up, so super glue won't work on them.

ya ill load on the super glue and see if it works.
And im not sure on what type of coral it is exactly, but its a soft coral, honey colored.

Soft corals are difficult to glue because of their slime.

If the glue doesnt work, just kind of wedge it between two rocks. It will eventually grow and attach onto those rocks.

Ya i should have just done that instead of trying to glue it on forever.

I started out with one small Kenya tree and now I have three. One big one and two med sized ones. You will find out that they love to drop branches to make baby KEnya trees. I just take the droppings and stick them in the gravel for a week and after a week or so they have attached themselves to the gravel pieces and you can glue the gravel to the rock. Super easy.

Nice! I cant wait.
How long have you had your kenya tree?

The problem is, once they are stuck to the rocks, you can't bring them to the LFS. If you cut them off, they will regrow from what is leftover on the stump. If you try to scrape off whatever is on the rock, even if you can't see anything left, it will regrow from that spot. Once you have them, you can't get rid of them!

Why can't I bring them in if they are stuck to gravel? I'm sure they would take them.

Sarah was saying that if it starts growing on a large piece of rock, you will not be able to remove them completely from that rock.
