Sticking coral to LR! help please

I have this ricordea mushroom that keeps getting knocked into the sand! Its pretty small....about the size of a quarter....What are your methods for getting it to stay on the LR?? i dont want it to die

 

Superglue gel

 

im assuming u have to take the lr out and dry the spot ur gluing?

 

Super glue gel. No drying needed. Just apply a small amount to the frag, and then gently place onto the rock where you want it to be glued. Press gently and give a small twist so it gets good contact. It will dry and the coral will stick.

 

Takes a little practice so be patient.

 

Unless the ricordea is already attached to something it might be difficult to glue to the rock with superglue gel.
You may consider putting it on the bottom of the tank in a small tupperware bowl full of rubble or even crushed coral or something, then cover the tupperware bowl with pond netting or some sort of loose mesh so water and light can get in but not move things around too much.

Eventually it will attach to something in the bowl then you can superglue that to a rock somewhere you want to attach it.

 

Great detailed response.

 

i just fragged a mushroom today i stuck it to a small piece or rock then i took some nylons and cut a square out i used the nylon square to hold the shroom to the rock. In a week or 2 ill check and see if the mushroom bonded to the rock if i can find this thread tommorow ill post a picture since my description sucks :O(

 

K i successfully glued it to the rock, i went and got another peppermint shrimp because my last one was attacking this frag, and last night, i caught the new one doing the same thing. I dunno why they only go for this little ricordea. To fix that issue i used Screwtapes idea and just put a tuppeware and put some pond netting on top. Hopefully this can give it some time to grow and hopefully the shrimp will stop attacking it. I think just need to get rid of it for good and remove aptasia on my own.

 

Yup, works almost everytime!!!
