I took a plastic cup, cut off the bottom, drilled holes in it, and stuck it down into the sand for a baby pen. It is placed in a fairly low flow area.
I've tried gluing one to a rock, but that seems to create more problems for the coral. They are usually "free-living" in the oceans.
When they inflate they are pretty lightweight and will blow around very easily, so even when placed in a low flow area they will still magically end up somewhere else unless you create a "pen" of some sort.
The area on yours where the skeleton is exposed is its bottom. If you hold them about 6 inches above the sand and drop them, they usually land on their bottom
. When you handle them, try to scoop and cup them into your fingers instead of grab and pinch them between your fingers.
