Got a mult-colored frag pack from flricordia today, and had to make my own ricordia rocks.

Superglue gel from the dollar store ~ works well, but I always end up with some on my fingers ~ I hate that.

Thank you! Me too ~ I want a whole tank full of them.

once you put the gel on them, do you have to use a rubber band or something to keep them put until they adhere? or is the gel that quick that you just hold it for a minute or so and they stick? -Thanks - I have a couple wandering ricordia that I want to fasten in place... It's really annoying when they end up behind all the rocks

Amen! Make sure that the ricordia is attached to a small rock first, you don't want to glue the ricordia itself. Place the the gel (a nice sized bubble) on the rock, placing it in the water will cause it to start to harden. Put it on the larger rock you want to glue it to, push gently and twist. Hold in position for 30 seconds or so ~ good to go. If they aren't attached to a small rock, I place them in a small plastic container with sm. rock rubble in the bottom till they do ~ like this;

HTH

Yah, you got to appreciate the guy, he sells great corals. I got nine this time (at least three already have two mouths, so should split fairly soon), five the last time (one died enroute ~ choose the wrong shipping), and already had three (one of mine split), so I'm not at 16.
Your 14gal biocube is looking pretty sweet already!
