Basically you run your needle and thread/mono through the coral and pull enough line through so you can tie around a rock. Most leathers hold quite well that way. Colt coral's sometimes tear through as they are quite soft and their composition seems to have a higher water content.

Usually, I just run the needle and thread through once, but you can certainly go through twice, especially if the coral frag is big enough. After a couple of weeks if the coral frag is in good condition and your system is too, the frag should be attached.
