just glue it back one with a gel based super glue, sorry it's later then you might have hoped but even birds nest can take a rougher handling then we all think.

+1 gel glue with cyanoacrylate. check out in the library articles the one "how to glue coral frags". I just followed that and bought some aquamend and some super glue gel and I couldn't be happier.

Yeah follow the how to glue thread. Use a cyanoacrylate gel.

i use epoxy puddy to mount my frags..its the only thing i have so im using that. just mix up a small ball of it, and jam the frag in the puddy. it will feel loose at first, but after a while it hardens and your good to go.
