I purchased my first toadstool leather. Reading on how to secure it in the tank, I used a rubber band on some rubble rock. It has looked great for over a week, but this afternoon I found the band cut the stalk. What can I do?

Thanks! I’ll try that.I had the same problem with a sinularia, came off the plug it was rubber band to 3 times. Put it in a small plastic container filled with rubble rock and set it in the sand. About a week later it was attached tho a small rock that I glued to my rock scape. Hope this helps, good luck.
I would never have considered putting a piece of rock on the top to hold it down. It is pretty large. Thanks for additional suggestions!Leathers are really hardy. Both will probably grow.
Yes, attach to rock. They won't attach to sand.
If they're too small to get a rubber band around (with a barely snug fit, not a tight fit), other options are...
- gently tie down with a fine nylon thread/fishing line
- dab them off as dry as you can with a paper towel, then super glue to the rock (since they slime a lot it's tricky, but doable)
- if the leather frag is big enough, you can place a piece of rock rubble on top of a corner of it to keep it weighted down against your rock work
