Mushroom Problems

[andiesreef]

Hello everyone. I have 2 small green rhodactis shrooms that won't attach to a rock. Tried glue, putting it in a box with rubble for a few days... nothing. They just fall to the bottom and curl up. Is there any hope? They originally came off of a larger rock and it seems they left a small green blob of tissue behind. Will that grow into a new mushroom?

leave them on the rubble as it might take a while for them to attach. Make sure that they are not getting a lot of flow to allow them to attach themselves.

will do, thanks

Yeah gluing them directly only makes them slime. A little rubble in cup in low flow area should get them to re attach for you. Once reattached you can glue rubble wherever you want to place shroom.

attaching mushrooms to rocks is HARD

what finally worked for us was a refugium box in display tank that enabled us to reduce flow to near zilch/zero. We put several small rocks covering bottom. We put mushrooms on top of rocks. We prayed. When mushroom would drift off rock, we would put back up on rock pile. Eventually we got our mushroom to attach to small rock. Small rock with mushroom attached was then glued to larger rock in tank (glue small rock to large rock, since gluing mushroom directly to larger rock never worked)
