is it safe to use super glue to stick corals to the rock?
do i need to take the rock out of the water to do this?

Yes, and yes. Pull the rock out, use a towel to blot the rock dry, put on the superglue, attach the coral, and submerse. The superglue works through a chemical reaction, so you want to submerse it to prevent a burn. I've never had a problem with this, but others have reported the heating.
Three quick things...
Buy the "Gel" Superglue instead of the regular stuff. Superglue, gel or otherwise, may not work too well on some softies because they slime too much and fall off. Also, after you apply the superglue, let is stand for about 30 seconds before putting it in the tank - this will allow it to form a little skin on the outside.

xenia growing like a weed is a good thing. There is still alot of demand for it. See if you can trade it in with a lfs for other corals. Could save you some money in the long run. 
i got the corals a few days ago and they r doin good.im having problems keeping the green sinularia in place the glue is not working so well.
I have found that sinularia doesn't glue down very well. You might try using a toothpick epoxied into a rock as a mount, or just wedge it into a good spot.
I have also found that expoxy works a bit better for stonies.
