I got two tiny Pulsing Xenia frags from my mother-in-law yesterday and they are doing well but arent big enough to burry in the sand so they keep getting blown around. She has reef safe glue for her soft corals that I can borrow so how do I do this? Do I just put a little glob on the very bottom of them stem and stick it to a small rock quick? Can I put both of the 1" tall frags on the same 2" wide rock? Please and thank you for ANY tips/suggestions you may have.

just rubber band them to a rock. they will attach themselves but it will take a couple of weeks

true.
The longest for me was some green star polyps which took nearly three weeks.
Most others I've done usually take 4 or 5 days to a week to attach themselves

I had to glue them last night. The frags were WAY to tiny to even attempt putting even a tiny rubber band around. Thanks for the advice though, I'll keep that in mind for the future!!
