When I got my live rock I also got some softies free with it.
Among them were some nice mushrooms that were just sitting on the sand.
I put then into my tank on the sand and turned on the koralia's.
WOOSH ! off they went round the back of the rock :sword:
Iv now found them happy and healthy but not where they can be seen.
They are firmly attached and I was wonderring if its possible to move them without damaging them.

it can be a bit difficult to move them off a rock unless you can cut them cleanly off with a sharp knife. using your fingers will just rip or squash them.
