The bands must be fairly loose so as not to cut through, but tight enough to keep it in place.
Another method involves putting bridal veil around the coral and loosely banding that to the rock.
Again, I can't back this up with experience yet this is just my opinion based on what I have read, so please take it as such.

Difficult seems to be a misnomer. I have been trying with two pieces for six months. I tried all the mentioned ways, but they did not work. I finally used small Tupperware type containers. I put the frag in, and surround it with rubble. Sometimes you have to almost cover it with rubble. Then put it into a low flow area of the tank, and wait for a month or so. I had one attach this way, but I am still waiting for the second. It looks like it might be close.
