You ever mount a Ricordea to a plug or rock and the next day it is gone. :banghead I have, after loosing a couple at 20$-30$ a pop came up with this method that is working pretty well, so thought I would share. I didn't think to take pictures until after fragging them by laceration so I will get pics of that next time around and add to the thread.
Tools
- Bridal Netting (Tooling) can get it at any fabric store very cheap
- Live Rock or Reef Plug
- Scissors
- Rubber Band
- Small pieces of PVC

After a week or two remove the tooling, PVC and rubberband. If the Ricordea foot attached itself to the PVC I have found you can lightly twist the PVC and it will slide off because of the smooth surface.
Here is one I did last week on a rock plug.
