    I guess I'd better start drinking some water! ;D
    I may use both ideas. The water bottle and veil. I have a hippo tang that likes to pick things up and move them around. In fact, she may be the main reason my mushroom didn't stick before. I had mounted the mushroom on a small rock and put it up in my rocks but the next day the rock was laying on the sand with the ricordia detached. She may have been guilty the second time also. The rock stayed put but the ricordia did not.

    Dr. Phil's on. Gotta go!! ::)

    Thanks, Cindy

    [quote author=amcarrig link=board=General;num=1092062470;start=0#7 date=08/09/04 at 10:45:05]Ricordia will slime up when you touch them so using glue to attach them won't work.  What I do is cut the bottom off of a pop bottle and clean it well with diluted vinegar.  Cover the bottom of the container with small pieces of live rock and drop in the ricordia polyp(s). I then place the container on the sand in a low flow area of the tank and wait a few weeks for the frag to attach.  You'll also want to cut some small holes in the side of the container so that water can flow through.[/quote]

    Wow that's a great one. :)

    Sounds easier than the wedding veil. I did the veil thing and it was difficult to hold it down.
