    anyone know a good way to rescue a ricordea underneath my rock scape! I was thinking of trying a turkey baster with air in it, and using the suction to try and grab the mushroom! This will be fun!

    that might work, but if it dies, it shouldnt do much, and shrooms can last a while without light.

    I would use a baster with water and see if you can flow it out.

    Also, rics can move around... not quickly.... but they can. If it attaches and doesn't like the lighting, it might pop itself back out.

    They have as much (or more) in common with anemones as corals.
