Attaching Florida Ricordea to a stone

[Willbiker]

Every time I try to attach my new Florida Ricordea to a rock using Seachems reef glue, it peels itself off after a few days and floats off. I cant use a cocktail stick and rubber band as the coral is very flat and thin.

I was thinking to gently secure the coral to the rock using sewing thread or will this harm the creature? Any other ideas?

Rubber band, just leave it loose. Or put it in a small basket out of the flow full of rubble. It will eventually attach.

Glue doesn't work because of their slime

Yeah I cut the base of a water bottle so it's a bowl and then added sand and rubble into it. Then place it in a low flow area with the Ricordea laying between the rubble. It took a little while but worked out, just be patient with it.
