    Hey everyone i just picked up a frag of a red montipora capricornus ......i was planning on placing so it would grow of the side of a rock high up in my tank. To me that would look really cool haing it grown on a ledge, but i was wonder how i could get it do that? like glueing it to a main rock in the tank or just placing where i wanted it to attach ......... any suggestions?

    picture links of the new frag.............

    HEy everyone just thought i would ask since people are checking out this thread

    anyone one know if when fragging mushrooms and xenia ( spelling) if they are sticking to the rubble rock could i glue them to a piece of rubble rock. People have said no to this in other threads i saw. people say they are too slimmy, but i was thinking of trying on a mushroom and seeing how it works.......is this good or bad idea?

    Better luck than me.. I had purple hairy mushrooms and ended up trading in the rock with them on it...

    i have a large rock 12x6 maybe, covered in hairy mushrooms i was thinking about trying to get some off but never messed with shrooms, was going to try a chisel and chip them off but it sounds like i might have fun trying ,baugherb did you try getting them off or just gave up ?the rocks mine are on are large and i would like to keep them but have way to many mushrooms
