The Kenya tree that was being held on by a rubber band has been cut into by the band! Can I just use super glue and glue both parts to a rock? Please don't tell me this is going to kill it!?
 
You just fragged it into two!
Super glue is hard to use on soft corals - they slime up and the super glue comes off.
What you could do is use a needle and thread and "thread" it with fishing line onto a rock. Once it bonds to the rock, you can just cut the line free. Or put both halves into a plastic bowl (like a cream cheese dish or something) with a mesh net covering, so it doesn't blow around. In the bowl has rock rubble, and it'll settle on a piece and bond.

Or just use another rubber band and take it off earlier!
 
Parrot, it hadn't even stuck itself to the rock yet haha. I'll stick them both on a rubberband for now. I have a funeral to go to. Hopefully they will be fine untill then
 
They should be fine, softies are very resilient. I had one toadstool coral that got away and drifted out of sight, and months later, I found it HUGE and growing to a piece of rock!

Give it about a week and they should be growing onto the rock.
