The problem is that it will proably pop right back off. :)

there's nothing wrong with using driftwood from natural sources, a lot f
people collect it. You should boiland or bleach it to disinfect it. It
won't be sand blasted like what you buy at the shop, but it'll proably be
a little nicer looking anyhow. :)

you shouldn't have to attach it to a rock at all if you boil and soak it
long enough for the wood to ecome waterlogged. If, for some reason, you
feel you need to, use something stronger than aquarium sealant, such as
the epoxy used to mount live coral to rock, or a stainless steel screw.
