The trick is to use it to fill in gaps between rocks - think of it as "moldable cement" rather than glue, and it's a lot easier to work with.

I agree- it works very well with soft corals, which don't typically work too well with super glue. I remember using a good bit wedding veil in the mid-90's, and can remember going through a lot of those little plastic swords (used for skewering corals and then attaching the sword to something)!
