Mushroom

[zoren]

hey guys,

i just got some nice mushrooms. but some of them dropped off the rock, and they are now just lying on the sandbed. how do i attach them back to the rock?

i tried to press them down, back on to the rock but after awhile, the current will just push them off. and the mushrooms look really stressed up with some white wormy looking things coming out from the center.

any idea how to attach the mushrooms back? do i use epoxy? or superglue? and advice??

Use rubberband tie the mushroom to a rock and wait until it reattached. You can use a plastic cup put some coral chip or chip off rock then wait again.

Good idea! I will remember these... sure will come handy next time

Get it to a low flow area and place them on top of pieces of rocks, they'll reattach themselves in time. My zoos did that..... Be careful that you do not have any LS or inverts that will topple them though..

thanks for the tips dnutz and Qxnviolet.

i tired using the rubber band method, i think the rubber band too tight, then the mushrooms stressed, more of the white stuff came out.

so i removed the rubber band and just placed it on the rock. then the toopid blood shrimp touched it then now its somewhere floating around on the sand bed.

sianz...

Me also experienced the same thing before. 1 of the mushroom just detach from the main LR. But later it just been blow to another LR and later it attached there until now.

Bro put some rubbles into a plastic cup then the mushroom on top in a few day it will reattach back. Normally if i want to split the mushroom I'll use a rubberband.

its not possible to epoxy or superglue mushrooms,at least not that i heard of.

beacause they release this mucus layer and it will eventually be too slippery

I had the same problem of the mushroom getting stressed and died when i used a rubber band. Another suggestion is to tie with string or thread...not had an opportunity to try this yet.

If we want to re-locate a mushroom, how do we frag them? Do we just lpuck them out or cut them from the LR with a sharp knife?

Mine is cute. Because i don't have sands. My mushrooms stick on bottom glass (tank) i just hack care.
