Mushrooms

After reading the answers to my question of anemone purchase, I decided to go out and buy some mushrooms. They look great! Save one little fellow who has decided to become an unattached guy.

This little guy is placed on some of my live rock in hopes he'll attach himself, but I keep finding him on the sand I think some of the hermits are knocking him off.

Is there a way to help this 'shroom to stay put?

I always leave my mushroom cuttings on the bottom for a couple weeks until they attach themselves to little pieces of CC.then glue the tiny stones to the live rock. There is some luck involved

Budzstr's idea is good with the Krazy glue. Another thing to try is some mesh. I use the mesh bag material that oranges come in. Cut a small piece of it and rubberband it over the mushroom to a rock. After a few days, maybe even a week, take off the mesh. Don't squeeze it too tight or you can harm the shroom. Bob
