Really any super glue will work,if it's a gel all the better.
I ussually drill a small hole(in the rock),then super glue then place the frag in the hole
(Snug fit)

I agree about the gel.
If you are looking for 2 part epoxy putty check out Aquastick put out by Two Little Fishies. I use it all of the time.

Aquastick is good stuff, but I wouldnt use it on corals directly. Rock to Rock it works great. Just takes a little effort to get a secure hold in the places you want. But if it cures, undisturbed for 24 hours, its perminant. You aint getting it off without a hammer and a chisle. Get the grey epoxy instead of the purple. The purple package costs twice as much as the grey, and you only get half the amount. The grey looks like crap for a while, but eventually, it gets covered with coraline.

Sorry I was not around to post. I am finally back.

Thanks for the help everyone. Super Glue Gel (any brand) is my favorite. Even when I use the epoxy, I always dab on some super glue gel to make it that much stronger. HTH
