put in a small dish with some sand and cover it with some netting, give it a week or two and it will attach to the sand then glue it to the rock you want.

When you frag, you need to take a bowl and fill it with old shells or crushed coral, sink the bowl and put your frag in it, put the mesh over the bowl and anchor it on bottom.
When you frag, you are supposed to put them in quarantine. Depending on what type of coral it is, you can have more or less success by medicating it with a little extra iodide.
What were you trying to frag?

generally, shrooms need a little time to attach themselves onto something else. You can take your rock out, dry it, take your shroom and dry the back of it. Then, you can take some super glue GEL and put it on the rock, then take your shroom and push it onto the rock.
I tell yah man, quarantine is great!

Super glue usually doesn't hold shrooms because they slime so bad. I would use the bowl and mesh routine. I have had success with placing shrooms in a corner where the flow is real low. Once they attach to a few grains of sand, then you can super glue the sand to a rock.
