Reef epoxy with "crazy glue" gel mixed in with it is the best that I've found. It works quickly and effectively. I've posted the procedure a few times before. If you're interested in it, let me know and I'll dig it up.

will it work underwater???

It works GREAT underwater. Here is the procedure we use (quoted from another thread):

The process we use works great. The putty/glue combo sticks very well and very quickly. What you'll need is a tube of reef epoxy that can be purchased at just about any LFS and a tube of crazy glue gel. The best stuff I've found is the type the club sells (if you're anywhere near Jackson, we have a few tubes of club stock available for $6).

The process is really easy. Pull off a chunck of the reef putty and mix it together really well. Flatten it out and squeeze a small amount of the glue onto it. Fold it over and mix it together well and form it into a ball. Make a small recess on one side and fill it with glue. Push that to the bottom of the frag disk. Make a recess on the bottom of the putty ball and fill it with glue. Put it in the tank and push it onto the rock where you want it. Hold it there for about 4 to 5 seconds and that's it. It's stuck until you want to pull it off. Once you add the glue to the putty, you have to work fast because it hardens up in about 3 or 4 minutes. Also, be sure to wear latex/nitrile gloves because the putty gets a little sticky.

If you want to swing by and pick up the glue, I'll show you how easy it is and how well it works. There really is no better way, IME, to glue something into your existing reef.
