Default timber - need help w. falling coral

My toadstool frag only grew to one side and eventually started falling over. I rearranged the placement of the frag so that gravity would be a little more helpful but this thing is still really bent out of shape. Originally that plug was facing straight up.

Any suggestions about what I should do with it?

FWIW - this is what it looked like when I got it. I've since removed the fishing line.

was the frag placed near the edge of the tank out of the light? maybe the coral was reaching towards the light source. try moving it to the centre of the tank and maybe it will straighten itself out over time.

I think it was partially growing away from the fishing line, but I'll move it and see if that helps.

You could could glue the coral to a piece of lkiverock and peg it in place like so. Then it will not move around, yet you can move it whenever you like.
