if you want to move them pretty much whole you'll have to use a razor and cut the heads free from the foot, then use any of the usual frag methods for attachment, I prefer placing them in a shallow container of sand, let them attach to the sand for a few days then superglue them to the rock you want them on. you can also use bridal mesh, sew them to the rock there are many ways of attaching. the glue method seems to be the most effective for me.

hahah that would be just great. idk if they will grow or not there. when fully extended, they are about 1.5-2" diameter but then shrink to like 3/4" diameter and i really don't think they like the placement. the Zoo's though are doing awesome (this pic is about 2 weeks old)

what keeps the shrooms from floating away in the current? I have them in a container with the sand, but they don't seem to want to stay in it.

kk, just seemed like i killed them. assuming its how they feed?
as for floating, they were so small (probably 1/2" after cutting them off) that i didn't want them getting stuck on my powerhead or worse, in the devil's domain where nothing comes out again... (pistol shrimps tunnels... he likes to decorate quite a bit.)
