I would glue it so that it does not end up somewhere that you do not want it to be. You could also use a rubberband to loosely keep it on the rock until it fully attaches.

I have also had success with putting the recordia ina shotglass withrubble around it. and keep it in there until it attatches.  Sometimes you need to put a netting over the top of the glass also...it depends on flow.

You can take a wood chisel and place it flat against the plug at the base where the rock is attached to the plug and coral.  Then press it into the rock and give it a gentle but firm twist this should snap the glue free form the plug.  Since your ricordea is attached to rock you need to glue that small rubble down to something or else it may end up somewhere you do not want.  Glue is your friend :)

It better be a Craftsman chisel.  Any other brand and it would be a crime!   :police:
