Can I get this leather of the rock?

I recently purchased a leather from my LFS, and it came on a really crumy peice of LR. Is there anyway to relocate him?

What type of leather?? Most of the time you can gently pull them from the rock... then you would have to re-attach it where you're wanting it.

toadstool... would I have to glue it? or would he just grab ahold of somethin. Because if it came down to glueing it i might just leave him on that tiny peice of rock and set it on a bigger one

Same thing for my Leather it came in a rock that was broken apart I just place it near a big rock and eventually it will move itself to a better rock.

You could also use superglue gel and glue the small rock to the bigger rock.

I have pulled leathers loose from rock already and used the pin method to hold them where i want them. I normally remove shrooms and leathers from the lr they are attached when you buy them as most of these pieces do not fit into the overall scheme or layout of the tank, and I hate stacking fragged LR with corals etc on top of other live rock, as it sort of takes away from the overall view......So sticking with a needle or pin works fine for me. About all that I use super glue gel on is a hard coral, and I only have two of those due to lighting.

I haven't even begun tackling fragging corals or anything but yeah, I personally don't think I'd use superglue gel on any soft type corals. From what I understand there's quite a few softies that will just excrete slime at the glue site to get off of it.
Another idea (since I'm chicken about poking pins and stuff into them although that is a widely used and accepted method) is to pull them off the rock, put them where you want them, put some netting over the top of them and wait for them to attach.
