Some one help with attaching Ricordias

[reavesinc]

I've tried it all! Super glue, string, letting them sit in a cup with rock and what not. What's the deal? How do you get these suckers to stick?

Try taking some bridal netting (tulle) and rubberbanding it to the rock with the mushroom between it and the rock. Don't need it too tight.

How long do you normally let them sit? I waited two weeks with them in the cup with rocks.

Toule (however it's spelled, bridal netting) usually works in about a week to ten days. That's how I get loose mushrooms / ricordea / zoas to attach to rock -- some toule and a rubberband.

Sometimes it takes longer for a ricordea to attach. Fuzzy mushrooms attach in the 7-10 days, I have had ricordea take 2-3 weeks before attaching. The tulle does work the best, but just a Grins said - do not go to tight, you are just trying to keep it from floating away. Depending on the type frag disk you have there are other methods. I have frag buttons made of plastic that have holes in them so you can "sew" them onto the button with a bit of rubble in the center of the button. I never saw them before til my reef store started selling the frag kits, I use them a lot now. Good luck!

I've actually used the net bags that oranges comes in,if you cant find the other stuff,it worked very well,They might take 2 or 3 weeks to attach.

Thanks for all the help. I was able to get them to attach after a week.
