It's kind of tricky to do because they can get slimy, but worth a try.

Just wipe them off w/ a cloth.

I have trouble with ones that slime A LOT, but most softies can be superglued.

I have superglued some really slimy xenia before. Every once and a while they needed a second try.

I dislike doing it myself, but it can be done. I like finding or drilling a hole to stuff then into.

i grab a tooth pick, insert it the wholeway through then place it in a a piece of rubble so that the tooth pick holds it still.
if that makes sense?

It can be done but its kinda a pain sometimes, depending on the coral type. Things like gsps do well glued, leathers and mushrooms and such are trickier. My favorite trick is to put them in a small container of rubble or CC with netting over it, they will attach to a piece of rubble or cc, then you can easily glue that rubble or cc to the rockwork.

1. if you have a dead spot in the sand, you can get the soft coral to sit there for a few days, it will start to grab sand. Then when you pick it up, it's fused to some grains of sand or crushed coral and you can glue it to a rock because the glue sticks to the sand that the coral is grabbed onto.

2. The toothpick method works very well


3. Thread a needle and sew the coral ont whatever you want. Alternately, you can sew some thread around the base and glue the thread to whatever you want.
