Problems with a Toadstool..What should I do?


I bought a beautiful Toadstool Leather the other day but he was attached to a very small rock and he fell(broke) off of it. Now he just has a round stump. What should I do? I could cut a clean flat surface at the bottom of his shaft and try to re-attach him to a rock like a frag using the toothpick method. Or, right now, I managed to find an indent in a piece of LR and got him in it with super glue. The only problem with that, is that he's in a high flow area about 14" under an MH. Will he be ok there?

It should re-attach to where ever you place it in a couple days

but you may need to move it to a "low flow" area or turn off som pumps

Will it be ok living in High flow though? If it can re-attach? There's really no other place I can get him to stay without him being attached to a rock

All of mine prefer the mid-flow range
I would think once attached it should be fine
but you need to let it grow onto the rock

if you decide to move it later, they pull off easily

They like the lower flow I would just get a piece of roch and rubberband him to it and move it down to lower flow area he will attach to the rock with time.
