As titled, how?????? I've been trying for the better part of 2 wks with no success. I have 6 big bta in 5 rocks footed deep into crevices. I have tried ph placement, blowing foot with Turkey baster, dunking rock into tank (hoping gravity and water will help) I've suspended the rocks over a bucket with some water hoping it will release it's hold. I have not tried using g an ice cube on it's foot because there's no room. Can anyone shed some light on how to do it? The 5 rocks make up 90% of my aquascape. I plan on switching over to an sps dominated mixed reef.

I used a plastic card to get two of my nems off rocks just this week. Can't tell if it hurt them or not (flower nem is sitting on the sand by the back wall and my rbt is Mia) sounds like you might not have room for that trick. Trade the rock with someone for new rock?
Yea I have no room for a card. I am open for the option of new rock.
I was thinking chisle if i had a long skinny one i would potentially have a shot, just don't want to break the rock. I like the aquascape I have now and would like to leave it if possible........ i dont think thays going to be the outcome.
Does the ice have to be on foot? There's no way to reach the foot unless I try to chisel or break rock. I have plenty of underside as there planted 4" into the rock.
Try n touch it on whatever part you can see.....to see if he let's go.
Ill give that a go

I tried everything I could. Ice, Powerheads, after breaking one of my favorite piece of live rock to get Public Nemeny #1.....I decided to try a different tactic for the second one. I placed a airstone below him. He did NOT like the bubbles and moved. Kept chasing till he was far enough out to get him without hurting him!
That's a real good idea. Ill be trying that one
Tried ph many different ways no success
