Default blue ricordea floating around

I ordered some stuff online and one of the things that came was a tiny piece of blue ricordea. It is about the size of a contact lens and is not attached to anything. What can I do about this? I lodged it in the corner and now it moved to a spot under a rock getting minimal light..

Try taking it out of the water, along with a piece of LR rubble. Pat the botton of the ric. dry and also pat the LR rubble dry. Then, get a little bit of super glue and dab it on the LR rubble. Place the ric. accordingly. You can also try to bridal veil method. With a coral that secretes a lot of mucus, the bridal veil method would probably work best. You can use Google and search for the bridal veil method there.

+1 and would add use super glue GEL, much thicker and easier to work with.

I have about 30 rics. Those things are very hard to mount.

However, the good thing about them is they are very hearty. I have fragged quite a few of them, only to see they have jumped off of their plug the next day.

Found quite a few surprized that way. You'll look at the back of your tank a year from now and see a patch of 5 or 6 of them on some rock from ones that have floated away.
