Best way to get mushrooms to stay in place ? Advice

Hard to do if you have too strong current. If they are attached to a small rock you can place it where wanted. If not attached to anything i place mine in the sump with lots of smallish rocks. All them placed in a 3-4" pvc pipe cut to about 2" in height. Mushrooms will detach if they do not like where they are.

Rubber band them.

 

[RoDogVillan]

That doesnt damage then?

Nope, not tight, just enough to hold them in place, they will attach like zoas or anemones. Maybe a week or so.

Bridal veil or small mesh plastic netting with a rubber band can work too. Sometimes you can find a good size mesh on a bag of apples or similar at the grocery store. If you rubber band the mushroom directly just aim for using the band as a barrier to floating away not as a way of actually holding it down.

I've never had any success with the rubber band method. I use Tupperware with mesh top and let them attach to coarse sand/gravel. Once they attach they can be taken out and glued to whatever you want

How you do that method?

 

[akitareefer]

I googled this picture to give you an idea. Just put the whole thing in your tank and wait for attachment

My hairy green shroom up and left its disk also. I use a specimen cup with a frag disk in the bottom and put it on the bottom of the DT for a week. I've seen the rubberband method used to make shrooms split. WWC does that to multiply their bounce shroom.
