How Do I Move a Leather Coral?

[tush]

Could someone please tell me where a thread is for moving a leather coral. I just bought a real nice yellow leather coral only to find out that it is on a base made of shells. Needless to say the shells are breaking apart due to the weight of the leather. It can't stand up because of this. How do I put it on another rock. Never have done this before & pretty nervous to do this, but it is a must. Thanks.

you can just cut the bottom of the foot off and super glue it to a rock... see pic below

Jimmy - Do you work in graphic arts?

Just kidding. Nice of you to give a visual reference to help explain what you meant!

Leathers are pretty hardy.
Just take him out of the tank and transfer to a small container
Get your supplies together
You may need a rubberband or two to help hold him onto the new rock.
Before you put him back in the display rinse him in a bucket of seawater. It will get the excess mucus off
