Is there a reliable way to attach a coral to rockwork?

Epoxy really needs to be out of the water to harden. I take my rock out entirely to place frags, including the ones with corals already in place. Mix the epoxy, wait 5 minutes, take rock the out, sandwich frag to rock, wait 5 mins, put back in water. Will take a hammer to remove it.

Ive always had success with any kind of super glue... It will typically "skin over" / turn white as soon as it hits water but its doesnt harden... Put it in its place and move it around to break that skin and get the glue moving between plug and rock and then hold a few seconds.
this is what i do with 100% success. i’ve used polyp lab, dollar store, brs, and gorilla gel super glue without fail
