Sorry, still new at this. . .

So, you want to unattach the corals from large peices and put them on rubble, or are they not attached to anything? If they are not attached to anything, you can usually just take it out of the water then glue. If you want it to unattach to a large peice, frag it (depending on size and coral).
Be carefull what you tell people man, there are many corals that should not leave the water, it would be sad if they killed their coral due to something you said when you have no idea what to do. Unless I am wrong you have never fragged a coral, come to think of it in another thread you are asking which lights to get for your coral, so you really don't know that much. Please do not give advise when you don't know what you are talking about. His post clearly states that his coral is attached to rubble, this would lead one to belive they are frags, in which case super glue or reef epoxy would bee the twoitems I would suggest to use. Please at least read and try to understand the question before you post something just to try to make you look like you know what you are talking about.
This is what I am hoping to do. . .
I have several corals, Chili coral being the main problem. They were bought at my local lfs. I would like to place it under a ledge which is perched on top of some live rock. The coral keeps sliding down the rock due to clean up crew. I just want to be able to attach the rock the coral is on to the LR. I purchased Reef Glue Gel on lin mfg by Boston Aqua Farms. According to the "ad" I can use it under water with out removeing coral or rock form the water. can I do this with super glue?

you may be able to achieve it, but, there is a bigger posibility of failure with normal superglue. Personally, i would use a correct adhesive/expoxy..

I think that if you saw many of his other posts giving bad advise you would think differently, I also belive that I needed to speak firmly to stress the importance of this matter since he has not gotten the point when I have stated the same thing nicely in the past..
