if they were attached pretty hard to the rock doesn't that suggest that maybe they want to be on the rock? after all you didn't get them with a bag of sand.

I would put them back on the rock and hope you didn't damage them taking them off, I have a few in my tank that came with my rock that are over 3 years old so the life is there but there is a good chance you damaged them removing them from the rock.
