With some of the thicker gorgonians, be careful using epoxy stick, as the gorg. has a stick-like center, with a coating of softer tissue. When stuck into the epoxy that surrounds the base, the outer tissue disintegrates, and the gorg. is now loose in the epoxy & falls out of the hardened hole.

A hole in the rockwork with a small amount of the super glue gel is your best bet. CVS brand here in NJ/NY is the most economical: 2 tubes for a little less than the price of one tube of Krazy Glue brand.
