I just got a new hammer coral frag that is pretty big and I think I placed it kind of dumb since it was sucked in and underestimated how expanded it would get. It's slightly brushing up against some of my rock and wouldn't be able to expand more in that area. Do I need to move it? If I do, should I be able to just rip the frag (on frag rock) off my dry rock? It's super glued. Kicking myself for placing it badly as I don't want a bunch of super glue everywhere and messing with my rock scape more and violently is not ideal as most of it is resting snuggly on each other but not stuck together with adhesive. I'm a pretty new reefer, just fyi. Still learning

It's it's just superglue, it'll probably just snap off from the rock. However, I'd give it a week or two and see how it responds. It might be just fine.
Maybe just make sure the powerheads aren't blowing it directly at the rock.
