I got a frag of Hollywood Stunner, and really need to fix it in place or my Red Coris Wrasse will flip it over until he winds up killing it. I've seen many people just stick epoxy to the bottom and then to a rock...but I can't get the epoxy to stick to the coral at all. What's the trick? Maybe a little superglue to hold it to the coral, then let the epoxy do its job on the rock?

Oh, and lighting requirements? I can put it under T5's in frag tank or in display under three 250w MH's, which is what I think and have been told is best...but will it do ok up high close to the surface, or what? My lights are about 6" from water surface.

Super glue both sides of the epoxy, dab the coral with a paper towel to remove as much moisture and slime as possible before the super glue.

Agree with the above, superglue first. As for light either is fine, but I'd keep it at the bottom of the tank.
