Rics fell of fragdisk

I bought some really nice orange rics at a frag swap.

But they came off the disk.

How do i re-attach them?

i would get a small tuperware container put some rubble rock in there and put the mushroom on the rock and it will attach itself then you can take it out..

I agree, use a small gladware container or something and put some old coral rubble or liverock rubble in there, and put it in a low flow area and throw the frag in there. It will be attached in a week or so at the most if the conditions are right.

If the container has a rubblerock bottom and low flow, wherever its placed...it will stay there.

I have yet to run into the problem of it getting stuck on the container...too high of a flow then...try slowing the flow to that area down some.

move it down from your lights and into some shade. The lights (MH) can melt soft corals until you acclimate them.
