I recently purchased a ricordea. It was not attached to anything so I put it in a lgass with liverock rubble on the bottom. It laid on the rubble for like 2 weeks and I could not get it to attach to anything. This morning I went to check it out and it has attached itself to the side of the glass! What do I do now? I do not want to keep the glass in there.

just take a knife and carefully cut it away from the glass. Then, take it and put it in a styro cup with crushed coral. add some holes for flow. You can put a tiny piece of rubble on it to prevent it from moving. it will attach to the crushed coral, and then you can glue it to a rock.

Razor it out. A sharp knife should work also.
