Just use glue on the surfaces and sandwich epoxy in the middle. Works great underwater too......but what I would do is take the coral out of the water and glue than epoxy the coral...than add more glue to the epoxy where it will attached to the rock....than put it underwater and attach it. Also helps to clean the rock with a toothbrush or something to get all the loose particles off. If Im doing a frag plug I just use a tiny bit of epoxy and glue on both sides.

This is the best method by far....

I get my epoxy and gel super glue from dollarama. $1 for the 2g glue and $2 for the 4oz epoxy.
Its mentioned by myself and lastlight (Brett) in the very first link that I posted. EDIT: and the second one and the third one and the sixth one and the ninth one.
