Default Xenia Help

Hi all,
Our pencil urchin ran over our xenia and first split off one branch of the xenia (that looked like it was getting ready to split off soon anyway) but then this morning we found the main branch stuck to the back of the urchin. We have freed it from the urchin but how do I attach it back to the rock? I have the modeling clay stuff but that I use to stick rockwork together and such but it doesnt seem to work on the xenia its too slimey... is there something better?
Thanks,
E

Rubberband it to a piece of rock after a week or so it will attach.

Or stick a tooth pick through the base and into a crevice in the rockwork. When it attaches remove the toothpick.
