Is your's on anything? Thanks for the link. You are great with those!
Mine roll-up thier edges from time to time, but are attached to rocks.
+1 ^ I would attach him to a rock if he is not attached to anything... you can put him on a small rock & wrap all with bride veil & in a couple of weeks he should attach to the rock.

you can get a foot square of it for a few cents at fabric store... some put rock/rubble in a cup, the ric on top & cover with plastic with holes punched it.
some have luck super gluing them, but I tried that & it didn't work well for me.

mine moved around for a year before he found himself a spot he liked and attached himself. He's moved since then, but now I have new rics in every place he stopped.

just put him in a glass cup with some rock rubble and u can cover it with some plastic wrap and pop holes in it so u have some water flow
Good luck... try a small glass like shot glass, rock in bottom, brides veil (if you get some) over the top & a rubber band holding the netting to the glass.

lol Ok, now I'm laughing at my "surgical" abilities.
I went and got the veil, set the ricordia on a piece of rock and then wrapped it. It looks kinda "special" I'll post a pic - do you think it would be okay like this, or should I just stick it in a cup?
I don't think it would fit in a shot glass... it would get smooshed on the sides.

Seems like you have this case figured out already, but for if it's of any help to you, I'll share my method to the madness.
I keep a collection of small, broken pieces of dead rock, and a bottle of super glue gel on standby; "Gel" is very important here. A Ricordea florida or yuma can be removed from the water momentarily with no issues, so pick your rock, apply a very small dab of super glue gel to the rock, and place the polyp's foot, centered best as possible, on the rock.
You dont' need to "push" the poylp into the gel, in fact this would likely sieze up much more of the Ric's tissue, and prevent expansion. Best bet is simply place it on and place it in the tank. The small adhered area will be just enough to keep 'er steady until some new growth occurs
Hope this helps!

Looks from the pic like that is going to work !
Andy's tip I have heard works too... I tried it once, but my ric released from the super glue gel - then we had a "frag shop" seminar at our local reef club & everyone was given some veil & we practiced it that way & it worked for me.

I would gently unwrap it & check every week, could take a few.
