How to attach a Hawaiian feather duster to rockwork?
 
The tube seems kind of soft and leathery so I'm not sure if epoxy will work. I heard they can go in the sandbed but I'd like to place it in the rocks if possible, any ideas?

If there is a hole in the rock big enough to stick it into you can do that. It will attach itself.

I use a rubber band, just put it near the end, loose enough so that is sways a little, but tight enough that it is actually touching the rock work. It has worked every time, and I have my dusters exactly where I want them..

Also if it seems unhappy, it is very easy to take the band off and reattach it somewhere else.

Usually attaches in a week tops =)

Thanks.

I will try the rubber band technique.

I only place them in a hole, crevice, etc. sometimes they stay other times they move to a new locale on their own. If they move I figure they are moving for a reason.

I lightly rubberbanded mine in place. Once secure, it is now hanging upside down in a small cave with a good current going through there so it's easier to target feed. It seems much happier hanging like that than when it was trying to stand up.
