Did I use the right superglue?

I just used some loctite super gel, is this the right kind as far as it being safe?

I took the rock out and glued two pieces of frogspawn to it, let it set up for a minute. Then when I put placed the rock back in, the glue got hazy looking and think I saw like film come off it.

Did I just make a very bad mistake?

no I think you did right. Just make sure the glue you use is PURE cyanocrylate and then you will have no worries I usually use a cup of tank water too rinse off the frag so the haze you spoke of dosnt get on my coral .

Thank you for the quick responses. I've been watching the tank and everybody seems happy.

I don't know if it's pure cyanoacrylate. The package just says 'contains cyanocrylate'
