moving a BTA

[Elliot22288]

My new bta decided to sit right in the middle of my gsp colony....great... how can I move him without tearing his skin?

Well I have found that anemones will stay in a place they like (obviously). So to get them to move you have to irritate them. I have read pointing a powerhead at their foot (this didnt work for me) slightly pulling (this works but takes a while) ice (didnt try). I think if you move the rock that the anemone on a few minutes later it will start to walk around and then you can grab him.

put a piece of ice in a ziplock bag and gently touch the foot. it should let go quickly.
