what is the best way to mount ricordea

There are many ways to do it, but the best way depends on the size of the polyp in my opinion.
If the polyp is large the best method is probably to sew the polyp to a rock using small gauge fishing line or the plastic sewing thread that is just like fishing line.
For smaller rics my favorite method is to use bridal veil to hold it against a rock, but many people seem to have great success with putting a bunch of rubble in a small glass jar like a baby food jar, laying the rics on the rubble, and then putting the jar in a low flow area until they attach.

I just started using the filter media bag trick.....I works so awesome......All of these fruit loop rics my dad has been sending me have not been mounted to anything......Take a filter media bag....place the ric on the rock.....Place them both in the bag.....Tie it closed.....Pull down gently, to were the ric is semi snug....but this still allow the ric to get the light and flow needed until it settles....Without floating away....Mine have been taking about three days......I got the idea from someone on this forum....Great idea......
