I have a bunch of baby purple rics that I would like to put in the co-op and also some fuzzy mushrooms but I am not sure how to get them off the rocks. They rics are on the lower rock so I cannot take it out of the tank but I have about 7 to 10 babies about half the size of a dime to a dime. The fuzzy shrooms seem to be attacked all the way across the bottom. They might not be but that is how it seems. Any help is greatful. said:
Mushrooms are some of the easiest to frag.. simply take a razor and slice/shave them off the LR. If they are in crannies, you can use a screwdriver and 'pop' the section of LR they are on off and glue it to rubble or frag disc/plug or use a heavy duty blade to cut the LR around their base.
If you use the slicing method, one of the better ways to mount them is to use a small tupperware bowel or container submerged and away from flow filled with rubble and covered with nylon or something like plastic drain screen to keep them from floating away. They will attach in about a week or so and then you lift them out and glue the rubble.
