stubborn mushroom Help!

[woolfe]

:help: I got two red mushrooms a few days ago. My problem is that one is on the smallest piece of rock. One attached to my LR but the other one is holing on to this pebble & it doesn't weigh enough to hold him in place. I don't want to pull it off & hurt him. Any sugestions?

glue the pebble to the live rock

I read that! You can really use glue??? Do you have to dry the rock first?

pull the rock out first and patt both the rocks dry. them super glue them and hold it for like a minute. do all this out of the water. then place them back in

yeah do what dan said... where gloves though ... mushrooms are nasty ... also when you glue the pebble to the rock hold it there and just dose it with water super glue drys right away when it comes intact with water

Cool. Thanks

Cool. Done! He's exactally where I want him now.

I thought after I read that you could "glue" them that something was up. I mean you read not even to have air freshener sprayed around the tank. I read where somone (don't remember who) wouldn't even stick his hand in the tank after washing with soap. My mind set was Ahhhhhhh Chemicals of any kind+tank.... NOOOOOOOO
But super glue that eats through plastic (kinda like acid) is ok. It made me think it was a bunch of crap.

what di I know.... LOL
Thanks again!

Super glue doe snot disolve platic per se..It may get hot if there is too much on certianitems, but its not designed to melt plastic. Rocks do not have to be removed to use super glue gel and it in no way harms the tanks. Too much paranoia is set up with tanks and chemicals and putting hands etc in them after washing them, and all kinds of other crap. You wul dhtink these critters are made out of the most delicate stuff in the universe, which they are not.....sheeeeeeeeesh!
