So I went out today and bought 2 frags for my 12g. I purchased some zoas and a frag with 2 mushrooms on it. One mushroom was green metallic mushroom and the other was just a "regular" mushroom that was also green. I bought the frag because it was on this nice thin rock, and I figured I would crack it in half with a hammer and chisel and then I could separate the 2 (which I have done in the past with another mushroom frag).
Well, you can probably guess where this is going...I got out the hammer and chisel, put the frag on a towel, and when I hit the rock, it completely shattered on the side with the metallic mushroom. It was literally like gravel underneath the "foot" of the shroom. Since I could no longer epoxy it where I wanted, I ended up just setting the thing in the sand.
My question is whether anyone else has had an experience like this? Do you think the shroom might move to a better location now that his "host" rock is destroyed? Do you think he will survive?
Thanks for the responses...this was a major bummer, it was a really nice looking shroom!
