Gluing Leathers?

[chrisdaphish]

so i just got frag ofa toadstool from the lfs, and the cut it on the spot so ti was unmounted. i was wondering if it would be okay to simply superglue it onto a piece of rock? or should i let it attach naturally, right now i have it wedged bettween soem piecesof rubble rock, hopefully it will be okay=)

glue don't work very well with leathers as they will shed thir skin and become unattached that way. just let them attach naturally

stick a toothpick through part of it and down into a hole in the rock to keep it in place. You could also use string or a rubberband to hold it to the rock but this may cause a split or even death.

Best case, as Kau_cinta_ku said, is to let it attach naturally if the current will allow for it.

I use a rubberband to attach almost any soft corals to rubble.
