Rubber band or glue.

I prefer sewing them on with a needle and thread.

IMO this works the best.

You can skewer the base with a toothpick and place that in a hole in your LR
Scott Riemer
Place it in a glass in the tank with a piece of LR and the mushroom so it won't be affected by the flow. Eventually it will attach to the rock, then you can remove it and place it where you want.

Or, try what Frankenreef said.

There was a problem with NR and it said that i had to make a new topic??????
So there are 2 posts.

I superglue it to a rock and made a piece of net over it and hold it togetter with a rubber band.
It works!

That works too.

Well it worked for a few weeks.
The coral floats around the tank again.

So superglue and rubber band doesn't help.

What can i do next?

Do what Scott said. Superglue eats away the tissue of leathers in most cases.
jof

Perm
Around 4 days.
