I was doing a weekly 10 percent change when one of my orange hairy mushroom corals blew off its rock. I dont have any putty or superglue and it wasnt doing to good for a while. Is it to late, or is there anything i can do?

Its fine, several of my mushrooms are free floating, sooner or later they will attach to something.

Glue and putty doesn't work on mushroom, or most soft corals actually. The best way to attach a mushroom is to get a plastic cup, cut a few holes through the sides for some water movement, and put some rubble at the bottom and then lay the mushroom on top, it will usually attach to the rubble within a few days.
