They do? I have my doubts. The only thing I would expect to work there
is
a marine epoxy - coral being notariously awkward to glue even in a dry
location.


Yes, they do.

So they do. Sorry for the scepticism. But note that they specifically warn
against "Crazy Glue", which was (at least at one time) the most commonly
available cyano-acrylate, so much so that Crazy Glue is often used to mean
_any_ cyano-acrylate.

OT - you just have to love how "GARF", a Reef research program, is based in
Boise, Idaho. I hope they're really helping those Idahoan reefs.
