I use this for frags. It's not that bad price wise and it comes with two nozzles. LFS always has it.
More commonly known as Krazy Glue under its most widely known branding. It's Ethyl cyanoacrylate.
You certainly can find it at your LFS or you can buy it for a lot less at a Walmart / hardware / home supply store.

It is when you want to glue a piece of coral underwater - in the tank. Lets say you break off the frag plug (I always did this - break off the plug, glue onto the rock where I wanted it
I know what it is, it was more of a rhetorical question because most things are reef safe but people don't know that.

I always wondered if there is a difference between regular superglue (gel) - and those marketed for reef tanks. I just used regular gel superglue. Additionally - watch (if you do this in a running tank) - for the fish to immediately rush to chomp on the glue - resulting in a partially/entirely glued together mouth.... (From personal experience)
I was gluing gsp to a wall and some floated away. I was panicking like crazy trying to grab it.

I've found Gorilla Glue Gel to work very well and this offer on Amazon seems to be a very good price. I like having several "regular" bottles rather than one very large one but that's just a personal preference.

Gorilla Super Glue Gel, 15 Gram, Clear, (Pack of 6)​
