tree sponge

We just got a red tree sponge, how do I go about attaching it to a rock?

Wedging it in a small hole or crevice is probably your best bet.

We got it in the other yellow one came on a rock. So I have put everything we got into the tank after acclimating them for several hours and have the light off. Everything looks good except the shrimp. We got 6 and they are all laying on their sides and not moving. They were alive in the plastic sack. We have shrimp and coral in there now and everything is doing well, why would these guy just kick the bucket??

How did you acclimate the shrimp? Inverts are delicate and need to be acclimated properly. Even when taking all precautions I have lost a few when adding them to a tank.

I did just like the company said to. I floated them for about 30 min. then in a square dish and cut open the bags. Added about an ounce of aquarium water every 10 min till doubled, then emptied out half and did the same again. slowly put them in the aquarium after I fill the bags again and bang! Dead Never had that problem with shrimp before.
