Rock Flower not attaching

[kealont]

We picked up a rock flower a little earlier today and have been unsuccessful in getting it to attach to the rock work (just about everywhere) or bury in the sand bed. We have turned the flow off completely to allow it to attach but it ultimately ends up detaching. It will attach and chill for about 10-20 minutes before detaching and floating around the tank - This has gone on for about 5 hours now.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Just leave it alone; it can take some time for them to find a good spot.

It will eventually attach or dig itself into the sand.

Put it in a lower light area, ideally where the sand meets the rock. FWIW a RFA that refuses to attach for more than a few hours for me has always ended up dying.
