is this stuff safe to use to glue SPS to rock? i accidentally knocked my acro frag off its plug and i dont have any gel-based superglue, but i have a big tube of marine grade epoxy thats safe to use underwater in marine tanks.

it is safe,, it can cause a little recession at the base though because of the heat cause from the mixing reaction

It's safe but I hate using it. It gets crumbly in the water, does not stick well at all, I used to crush my SPS while trying to place it into the stuff, about 2 months later it has always let loose, it can and does burn frags and worst of all, will cause your skimmer to go nuts.

I've used it before without any problems but it does get warm when you start kneeding it up together. I actually prefer it to superglue at certain times.
