How do you move Ricordea's?

Does anybody know how to remove Ricordea mushrooms that are attached to a rock. I would like to place them on my existing rock from the piece of rock they are attached to now. How do you get them loose?

Is this a dual post? I'm getting deja vu. I'm trying to google you an answer. I'm checking to see if they are the ones with palytoxin which is bad.

Just some blue Ricordea mushrooms I want to keep. I just want to transfer them from the rock I purchased them on to my existing Live Rock in my tank.

Well if it were a regular mushroom I would tell you that you will have to cut it off. With a regular shroom, you cut the shroom close to the base then place it on the new rock and hold it down with a piece of wedding veil and rubberbands untill the shroom attaches to the new rock(about 2 weeks). The stub of the shroom will grow a new shroom so don't throw it away.

Can you do the same with Ricordea mushrooms?
