the coral epoxy that comes in tubes and smells like something died on your fingers for a week afterwards....

super glue works well too, but I'm not allowed to use it because I tend to glue things together that shouldn't be together....

I use a hot glue gun, and super glue, tired of wasting money on epoxy, to have it fall off when I put it back in the tank.

I use the 2 part epoxy that comes in a stick along with superglue. Put a dab of superglue on the frag, smush the 2 part epoxy onto the superglue, a dab of superglue onto the epoxy and smush it onto the rock(s). Works everytime even for larger colonies.

Superglue Gel. Its works well but you have to be fairly generous...

I use old, long chewed bubble gum Ed double bubble works best

Hey, Its actually called SuperGLUE and is made by Loctite. Its a gel version that works great for frags. You can even glue it underwater if you are fast enough (within about 10-15 seconds).

I picked mine up at canadian tire for around 10 bucks.
Sorry so slow to get back to you.
