    Can you remove the rock you want to attach it to?

    You use the gel kind, it works the best. Mushrooms are tricky, if they are not happy with your placement, they can get off of the superglue and move on their own.

    I put it in a small plastic container with rock rubble in it nylon net over it [ secure with rubber band]. I put this in a lower light level and in about a week or so it will attach to a piece of rock. You can then put it anywhere you want to.

    This is really the best method to attach most soft corals as they tend to slime up when you handle them which makes using glue an exercise in futility. For soft corals that have a "stalk", you can skip the nylon mesh and just secure with a rubberband or place in a plastic container with rock rubble.
