    I bought 3 ricordias and they came unattached to any rock. How do I get them to stick to my liverock? I don't have any rubble for them to adhere to.

    Any type of mesh netting should work fine. If you can it would be easier to get a peice of base rock and smash it into a few small pieces. That will make the netting much easier to wrap around the rock.

    Bridal mesh works great.
