Hey everyone, so as the title says, I have a really nice toadstool about the size of an open hand. my RBTA's are moving too close and I think they are irritating it . I want to move it, but it is attached to 2 different rocks. The little one I initially received it on, and a larger one it has grown onto. I want to move the littler rock and am hoping I can gently remove it's foot from the larger rock. Is this possible? I really don't want to damage it . but 3 RBTA's are already on the larger rock, so I i can't just take that rock and move it. thank you all for any and all help here.

Just cut it off with a scalpel. It will grow back. I do it all the time
Cut it's foot of the rock that needs to stay put? Or cut the toadstool in half and leave half there, while moving the other half? I would really like to keep the whole thing in tact if possible

Just cut what is needed to remove the whole thing. Toadstools frag easily what ever is left on the rock will grow back. You could attach the whole thing to a new rock before trying to place it. They attach within a week or two

Just cut it at the base and take the whole thing and attach it to a new rock. You can use the tooth pick method or put it on the new rock and cover/wrap mesh around it. I use the bags onions come in.

Awesome! Sounds good, thank you.
