Attaching Rics

I've read on here that the best way to attach coral to rock is using super glue gel. I tried this with my 2 new rics with mixed results. The blue ric attached and is fine. My flourescent green ric basicallyripped itself off of the rock and i cannot get it to attach, any ideas on why this would happen and how to get it to attach.
 
With mushrooms, it is better to let them attach themselves to the rock. For example, you can place a mushroom on a rock and wrap them loosely with a mesh (like bridal veil, etc.). Another approach is to place them in a small weighted container with some rubble, let the mushroom attach to the rubble, and then glue the rubble to the desired rock.
 
Yes just wrap a mushroom and rock together just tight enough to hold the foot of the shroom to the rock but loose enough to let the ricordia or shroom open up a bit. It will attach after a day or two, but wait 10 to 14 days so it really gets a grip . If you take the mesh off too soon a good current will blow it off the rock again!
