Okay so I bought a toadstool leather about a week ago and I haven’t been able to get it to attach to the rock but I tried gluing it and it didn’t work but I think it wa a because it was touching one of my bubble top anemones can I get rubber bands and tie it to a frag or what would be the best option?!!

Stick a toothpick through the base and glue the toothpick down.

I used to get a small cup, like the specimen cups people like to use for coral. Put some tiny rock rubble In the bottom and put the toadstool in there. It will attach after a while.

Dont glue but place in area of low flow allow foot/base to attach to a rock or rubble OR tie down loosely with a rubberband

I just did the toothpick method let’s see how it goes hopefully I can actually succeed with a leather coral there so hard but it’s because I have to attach them what’s the best advice y’all could give me with attaching them just be patient?!
