    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 :)

    :thumbs_up 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.
