Emergency reattachment advice needed

[badbreath]

In my classroom tank a small ric has become detached from the rock it belongs to.

I have previously used super glue gel to attach corals but I can't find it. Can I use "Amazing Goop"?

Anyone know?

Thanks

If it's not too small, I'd pierce the ricordia with a toothpick, and attach the toothpick to the rock.

I would put the ric in a shot glass with rubble in it,wait for it to attach and in that time get more super glue gel.Then glue the rock its attached to back on your scape. Its less risky then the toothpick IMO.

Superglue won't work with shrooms. They just slime up and won't stick to the glue.

What you need to do is put the shroom in a small container with some rock itcan attach to, cover it with some mesh or bridal veil, then let it attach. It'll take about two weeks place it in the tank where it'll get low flow. Then glue the rock it attached to, where you want it.

Never use superglue on rics and shrooms, it may harm the coral. I prefer to put them in a shallow container an drill ventilation holes on the box. Put the container about 2 inches underwater , sprinkle some pebbles and put the ric on the "bed". Don't disturb it until it sticks on a pebble.

this is what my lfs does and they have some of the best corals I've ever seen

I've attached mushrooms, polyps, and xenia by taking a frag plug or piece of rock and a small peice of fish netting and just wrap the elastic around the base of the rock and you can get a nice flow through it no problem. Longest it's taken for anything of mine to attach that way is 3 days.
