    So bought a ricordea and it detached from the rock it was on. Now what? I assume it will just attach itself in a couple of? hours? days? weeks? Is there any way to speed up this process? I can't really have my powerhead running cuz it blows it everywhere.

    you need to anchor it to the rock with either super glue or a rubber band or just let it float and find its own spot.

    You could also use stocking or a hair net and put it over the ric and on a rock. This will keep the ric from moving off the rock and will eventually attach to the rock when it decides to.

    Most in days some take longer like a week or so. you could always put it in a small bowl with some rock rubble and a net covering it so it doesn't blow around.

    I worried that if I let it float it will float right into my koralia and vaporize. I don't have any glue so I guess a rubberband will have to do.

    you could also try the above method of using like an old butter container and put the frag in there with some rubble, usually being in the cup will prevent it from being swept up into the current
