It went in my cave near the back wall. I have the other two front and center so I don't mind if the loose one hangs out back there.

I'm kinda thinking I should let it do it's own thing, if it's happy it might have babies sooner. But I'm kinda thinking maybe glue it back on the rock?

Any opinions either way?

I wouldn't mind that. I already have red ones every where. This one is actually a ricordea, it would be nice seeing them every where. :)

Mine came off the Rock and now I can't find it is it worth turning my tank apart to try to find it? will it turn up eventually?

Normally wouldn't be such a big deal but it's Superman mushroom and it's really cool and I don't want to lose it

I don't think you can glue a mushroom.
When the mushrooms are letting go it normally means they cannot handle the flow or something is really p!shing them.

I have been glueing my ricordia, since they always seem to float. I just had one float into a torch and came out in the morning to see my torch eating said shroom, was the only one i didnt glue when I re-arranged my rocks. Glue hasn't effected any of them.

Then you are good :)
I can never effectively glue toadstool, ric, mushroom, leather......
I tried to glue toad and mushroom before but the slime release at the contact area causing the glue to not stick to the body of them...

Haha didn't say it was easy :p

I just kind of drop them on the glue, blow for about 30 seconds and back in the tank they go

I use the superglue gel and it works well. This was the first time I ever had one pop off.

The funny thing is, he made it all the way around my tank and stopped at the rock I glued him to!

it because this is true.
I'm sure it is juts the mushrooms plotting the inevitable takeover of your tank. Just a flanking maneuver and nothing to be alarmed about.

I use the gel 2 which is the best for most other corals but it didn't work
