Ricordia attaching to rock?
 
How long does it take ricordia to attach to rock? I have two small ones that split off the parent and neither is attached to rock and I don't think you can glue them to rock :)

You can glue them, but it's not recommended.

Try putting them in a very low flow area with some rubble for them to attach to. Another option is to place rubble and the recordia in a small bowl in your tank with some mesh over top to prevent them from blowing away. I've had mixed results with that one though. They should attach in a day or so, but might receed into the rubble until they are happy. After that, if they are attached to a small rock or pebble, you can glue THAT on to a bigger rock.

i've only tried the bowl/rubble technique twice but it worked both times and within a day or so too.
