I have Ricordia I can not get to attach to my larger pieces of live rock. It has a tight grip on two little pea-size stones and no matter how I place it on the larger rock it always ends up falling off. I know how to use toothpicks for larger soft coral but how do you do this with out being too rough on the smaller, slimier ricordia?! Is superglue a good option? Should I use the gel kind since it is so delicate? Help...!

Try putting bridal veil material over it and the rock. Eventually, the ricordia will attch itself and you can remove the veil.

Super glue gel tends not to be effective attaching shrooms.

How should I pin the veil material to the rock?

You would just wrap it around the rock and you could use a rubberband to attach the veil.

Just glue the small rocks it is attached to to your live rock.

Super glue gel or marine epoxy should work. Once it stays in place for a week or so, it will attach to the LR.
