    my leather came on a weird shaped rock and I want to put him on another one....The other rock does not have holes in it to stick toothpix in so what would I use to hold him upright until the Leather attaches himself to the new rock after I cut him off the rock he is on?
    It is a toadstool Leather....

    I wouldn't see why not..leathers aren't TOO slimy..although i tried super gluing a kenya tree down and it just scooted off the super glue after a couple days lol but it's worth a shot

    A lot of aquarists cut the Toadstool from the rock, use a plastic container with a hole in the bottom, dig it into the sand somewhat to hold it in place, put the toadstool in it so the bottom of the stem is touching the sand (some will put some courser substrate it the cup/container. The cylinder will hold the toadstool upright and allow it to adhere to the substrate. after it is well established, you then can glue it to the rock.

    My substrate is crushed coral? Will he be fine and adhere to it?
