Cutting Sarcophyton at the stalk?

I bought a good-sized mushroom leather from a local guy. It's head is about 5" across and it "stalk" or foot is 10" long and curved! In the previous owner's tank, the stalk was behind some rocks where it laid-down in the sand and then curved-up just before the head. I'd like to cut the stalk down to more like 5" and super-glue it to a small flatish rock so it stands a little nicer (more erect) and can be easily moved.

1) Good idea or bad idea?
2) High success rate for the top-half after cutting the stalk?
3) Will the "foot" likely grow a new head?

I've fragged Sarcophyton before but never cut the whole top-half off before.
Yes, I know to do the cutting in a seperate container.

Thanks for your advice.
