floating mushroom

[KariE2B]

One of my shrooms detached from its rock since the rock had become too crowded. I am wondering if I should let it roll around until it finds its own place, or should I glue it somewhere...and where do I find the appropriate glue?

 

Thanks

KariE2B,

 

You can do several things:

 

1. Let it float around until it finds a home. May or may not be where you would want it. Mine tend to end up in the back of the tank.

 

2. Use a piece of mesh to attach it to a rock. Put a rubber band around each end of the mesh. After a week it should be attached.

 

3. Use a super glue gel to hold it down.

 

4. Push it into a hole in a piece of live rock.

 

By doing options 2-4 you can start a new piece of mushroom rock and place it where you want. You can also create pieces that you can trade for other frags.

Either way is ok....I usually just let them find their place. I've never had much luck with gluing corals in place.

i usually cram them in a hole. worx unless it's in a hi current area (shroom might not like anyhow)
