you can try it, but you can also trry using a plastic cocktail sword. just stab it, and jam the tip into a crevice. should grab hold in a week or so, then just pull the sword out.

The vast amounts of slime they produce make glueing a very challenging and frustrating way to mount it. If you have plenty of rubble in your tank you can always wedge it place or try what Isis recommended.

Toothpicks work also.

I some times superglue and use a rubberband, if one doesn't work, the other usually does.

best way that i have found is to use a tooth pick. Glue the tooth pick on to the rock then push the leather on to the toothpick. After you hve done that just put it in a low flow area and watch it grow to the rock you can remove the tooth pick or leave it in there. doesnt matter.

Just zip tie it to a rock. The flesh is strong enough to hold. The zip tie is easy to use. Just wait a few weeks and then cut it and pull it outlike a piercing. Dont be afriad to poke it right through the frag. You wont hurt it.
Shouldnt give you any more grief.

How long are you leaving the rubberband on? Make sure part of the foot is in a grove in the rubble or it will just cut it. Wait about 2 weeks and then cut the rubberband off. It works every time. Some times I start getting a new head and then I cut the rubble in half and now I have 2 frags.

I used onion bag mesh, a strip of it, stretched over the piece and glued to a piece of liverock on either side. After a week, I cut away the mesh and it was mounted. They are slimy little suckers!
