I fragged my colt coral in the past and I stuck a toothpick through the base of the coral and used an elastic to succure it to the rock. It took about a week for most of the frags to attach to the rock. After a couple weeks I took the tootpicks out very carefully by cutting one end of the toothpick close to the base of the frag, then twisting the toothpick to loosen it off and then pulling it out.

I have also found that the frags stick better to rock with coraline algae on it then plain base rock. This last could have been coinsidence since I only had 6 frags and two of them were on top of coraline. The frags were in different parts of the tank with different water flows and two of the frags kept getting knocked over by Engineer gobies.
