Dragon,

What I'm thinking is that once you remove him from the rock, he is very slipery. And even glue under his foot won't stick. So what might work is what he is suggesting.

You place him in a cup of aquarium water and then flip the cup upside down and let him fall to the bottom of your sand bed. He is sure to pick up the sand pebbles from that. Once he has this, he will be more bouyant, he will be anchored, won't float away.

But if you want him in a special place, you use this glue and since he has those pebbles it will stick better.

This is how I see it from Incysor's instruction: however lets wait for him to replay again,,,,

Yep, that's pretty much the way I would do it. People sew them on to the rock but that seems more difficult to me.

another method is to stab a syringe needle straight through the shroom and into the rock you want to mount it in. i've done this successfully with yumas and ricordea.

:lol:

Actually I saw this method in CORAL magazine. And it looks VERY easy. The only problem I have with it is most people don't have ready access to these needles. I looked around a bit and couldn't find any. I haven't a clue where the local medical supply companies are, or if they'd sell to just anyone. Do you know an easy place to get them?

A local drug dealer maybe? They all over LA.

J/K! I dont want to give my inverts aids & other STDS LOL

This post is getting interesting on "how to place your ricordia to a rock of your choice successfully" All these suggestions are helping, but I'm afraid to screw up or kill it, I'll give it a shot perhaps this weekend, or just say screw it if I chicken out, lol. Thanks again for the replies though.

I got mine from an LFS. they got it from a local med supply shop... check your Yellow Pages. I doubt that they wouldn't sell it to you, especially if you explain why you need it.

heroin junkies aren't the type to say: "i use the needles to propagate mushroom corals. i need one that's sharp enough to break through the coral rock that i'm trying to mount them onto".

they'll still give you a funny look, but of a different kind. and at least you'll still get to leave with the needles. :)
