Advise for mounting a colt/nepthea

Not sure what the coral actually is, but its definately either of the above. Im having a hard time mounting it.

Ive had it in a container with rocks for the past week and its not attaching. The base is prob 3-4" round.

Any tricks, recommendations??

Rubberband it to a rock. Done it lots of times.

Either that or stick a toothpick through the stalk, near the bottom, and rubberband that to a rock or frag plug. Done that lots of times too.

i actually threaded a piece of cotton thread through the base on my nepthea and tied it to a small rock. After two weeks the thread fell off and the nepthea is now enormous and still on the rock.
