Corals just wont STICK!!!

[seth16]

I have 2mushrooms that my friend gave me that he kinda cut a little low, and it looks like the guts were coming out,, and he siad they were fine, so i tried to SG to a price of rock, the just wouldt stick, when i thought they did, i would come back an hour later, and they would be gone, somwhere in my tank, but not where they were supposed to be. Rubber bands didnt do anything, what should i do???? also, one of my ricordeas is doing the same thing, but it doesn ahve the guts problem thing, it just wont stay on. I have a rubber-band gently holding it to the rock at the momtn. Is there some secret that i need to know?

rubberband or

rubberband or

I use the rubberband trick, just give them more time.

You could also use, a needle and thread, and attach them almost like you would attach a button.

Get some bridal vail and use that to wrap around the ricordia and a rock. Use a rubberband to hold the bridal vail on the rock, the ricordia will attach in a few weeks time.

well, more into the rubber-band thing...... i am not covering the mouth, that is good , right? and also, is there supposed to be pressure on them, i mean, it was, then they like got "dents" for a little bit when itook them off, is that ok? i mean, will they attach, then "un"dent?lol

I use the tupperware method... throw a small pice of tupperwere with lots of little hole drille din it into the tank, drop the shroomw in it with some rubble and let it sit in there. They will attach to the rubble given time.
