Re-attaching finger leather

[GMH320]

I have a finger leather which broke of the piece of rock to which it was originally attached (Don't have a clue how it happened). There is vitually nothing left but a small piece at the base, to small in fact to use epoxy putty. Any suggestions on how to re-attached this guy to the rock?
Thanks. Greg

You can rubberband, toothpick and rubberband, wedge it into a hole, or superglue it in place. All of these will work fine and won't have any adverse affects on the coral. However, the fact that it fell off indicates that it's base is deteriorating, and you may want to cut the stalk a little above where it broke and get some new flesh there and start with that. Save the old stalk in case it starts to grow, but the fact that it just fell off indicates some sort of trouble, IMO.
