Orange Ricordia Yuma

Two weeks ago I placed my Yuma inside of a 3 inch round pvc with some rock pieces inside and the Yuma has only slightly attached to the PVC. I moved him off of it. If I remove the pvc he is in I'm afraid he will float to the back of the tank. Any other ideas
Thanks,

put a glass bowl(to block flow) over it for couple of days but make sure there is a gap at the bottom of one side for some circulation.

I only have 2 koralia 1's in the 46 gallon so there is not that much flow for the Yuma. Is it they dont like any flow?

 

no they can have moderate flow, but i thought what you were trying to do is attach it to a rock

Correct I am trying to attach it. I just got back today from Sea World in Flordia and some of there tanks had much more flow in them. The corals were like whipping away. I dont want to have the pvc out of the sand or else the muchroom could sneak out from under it.

 

once it attaches to the rock you won't have to worry about it, but you could prolly find a low flow zone and not even use the pvc pipe since you only have 2 koralia's

Every time in the past those yumas always find there way to the back of the tank or at least under some rock that I cant get to.

 

you could buy coral glue, but i don't think its necessary if you find a good space.

 

Why don't you just put in a small plastic container with rubble, cover the top with some netting so it wouldn't float away. In a couple of weeks it will attach and then you can then put it anywhere.

 

Try using a toothpick to attach the mushroom! Less of an eye sore as well...
Good luck
