How do I attach a shroom?

I recieved 3 unattached shrooms last night.. How would I go about attaching these to a rock? Can I superglue them to a rock? Theyre pretty slimy/soft

superglue usually doesnt hold. Get a small cup or shotglass and fill it with rubble rock or crushed coral. Put the shrooms in this (in the tank) they should attatch within a cpl weeks and then you can glue the rock onto wherever

This method has always worked best for me. Just make sure that you place the shotglass or whatever other container you use in a low flow area of the tank.

I had a couple of rics that removed themselved from their original rock. I got some new mesh fabric(like a fish net) I placed the shroom on a rock or shell, then I placed the mesh loosley over it and tied the mesh down with an elastic. This has always worked for me...just don't put the shrooms in a high flow area or they will not attach.
