A question about placeing coral on LR.

[bluekoran]

I wanted to buy some pulseing Xenia The store has them but there all on rocks which Id need to mount on the LR, Any other way? Also could I take a mushroom off it's rock and it would absorb onto the next thing it touches?

If the LFS xenia is attached to small rocks, just place the whole thing in your tank. If the mushrrom is attached to a rock, yes you can cut it off at the base and move it. Several ways to reattach it to a new area. The way I like to do it: cut it off, place it in the sand where it won't get blown away for a week or so. It will attach to the sand. Take it out and using super glue gel, attach it to it's new home. You will have to take out the new home, dab it dry, dab the mushroom dry with a paper towel, and then glue it. Cover it with a damp papertowel for a couple of minutes and then you can replace it into the tank.

I just propagated some xenia, hoping it will do good.
