Hi! I just received my toadstool! But, I saw that it was Glued into the frag and seems like it is already coming of the frag. It already has a stem so I’m not sure how I can let it grow onto a frag. I don’t think I can rubber band it, but is there any other way to stick them in my tank? I’m putting it in a place that I can’t really wedge it into. What else should I do? It’s pretty small maybe about an inch and a half.

I'd just put some super glue on the bottom of the stem and stick it where you want it.
I would also just re super glue it where you want it, or re glue it back to a frag plug for now. It shouldn't come off again if glued right. Using super glue is completely normal and safe for the water.

Also, should I dip it? I read some threads of hurting toadstools by dipping. But also some that say it is fine. I will be dipping in coral rx if it’s okay

If it still isnt sticking with glue, try getting some rubble and a container and let the stem stick on the rubble then you can glue the rubble to wherever you want. Works for me on all my leather frags.

Leathers do best if attached to a piece of rock rubble. Super glue will not hold as the tissue will "sloth" off and detach.

Using a rubber band lightly around its base to hold on to a piece of rubble rock works well. Lightly, if too tight it will cut through the tissue. In a week, it should be firmly attached.
