Will my mushroom move to a spot that will kill it?

[cajonez]

I got a bubble mushroom a couple days ago and rather than tether it down I decided to let it decide where it would like to go. Each night it moves and currently it is almost at the bottom of the tank with little light. Should I trust that it won't kill itself or should I move it higher and tether it down?

It will move to a spot it likes. When I got my mushrooms I placed them in there and they found a suitable spot. Although, if you want it in a certain spot, put it in a container with some sand in it on the bottom of the tank and leave it for a few days. Then when it gets some sand attached to it, find a spot you want and glue it down.

Unfortunately it may even crawl to a place where you can't even see it... darn things.

Just moved him to a little tupperware container with a piece of live rock rubble. This method seemed like the easiest and the least amount of handling involved. I probably already touched him too much.

They are hard to kill in most cases... I tried forever to rid my tank of them.

I wondered the same thing flpriest. Anyway I took it out of the tupperware a couple days ago and it hasn't moved since.

just so you know this isnt a full proof method of keeping the mushroom where you want it... i have some very large green striped shrooms and i let them attatch to some rubble then glued them to where i wanted them. so far 2 of the mushrooms have decided to go on a walk about through the tank leaving a trail of baby shrooms its kind of neet to see but im not sure what im going to do with all the babies when they grow up...

I would be OK with some babies. My rocks are pretty bare right now, it would liven it up a bit.

You called it. It walked off last night and dug itself into the sand under a rock. I can barely see it now.
