Default Help!!! new Ricordia and Button Polyps

Just got a new coral - my first.
I thought they would come attached to something but they don't seem to be.
I am floating them for temperature.
Do I just set them on a rock?
Do I need to do something else to make sure they attach?

splatshot,
Did you order online to get you corals? Could you call the distributor to get technical support? You probably found some way to attach them by now. For future reference you can try to copy and paste this address to your search engine:

Here's an option:

Get a small rubble sized piece of rock and some wedding veil (craft store)

Lightly wrap the wedding veil around the coral on the piece of rubble rock, rubberband the veil so it wont unwrap/blow away, place in a low flow area, within a few days it should be attached to the piece of rock
