Attaching loose Ricordeas and Mushrooms??? HELP

[saltman123]

Anyone have success attaching softies such as Ricordeas and Mushrooms?

I've heard people suggest:
-Using Super Glue - but most times this fails due to the slime
-Using a Needle and Thread to tie it to a piece of rubble
-Using a piece of veil and putting it in with a piece of rubble

Anyone have a successful method? Or have used one of the 3 I suggested successfully? Any tips appreciated.

You have the most common methods listed, i have used the super glue method myself but you have to be good at it. take the rock out and let the glue dry in the air a little and stick it on and let it dry a little more and put it in a place with not too much flow. I have witnessed a guy using a needle and a fishing string and it worked really well. and sometimes I just find a place in my tank that has a little crevice and use a rubberband to hold it and remove it after a few days or so. good luck

I've also heard of using a toothpick too. Just stab it next to the mouth - not directly in the center. I've never used this method - but I've heard of it.

Bridal veil works best for me. Some have also put them in small cups with LR fragments. Eventually they will attach

I this this with most softies and it's always worked for me - mushrooms, zoas, and leathers especially. Give it a try.

I think I am going to give the veil and live rock rubble method a try since it seems the easiest and fail safe.

Thanks for the feedback.
