Removing a BTA

[JoeMomma]

Hello,

I am switching to a FOWLR and I need to get rid of an anemone. What is the best way to do this without damaging the poor guy?

His foot is attached to the rockwork at the bottom back of the tank.

Thanks!

Its a pain! Most times I have to take the rock out that they're stuck to, and slowly pry back along the edges. It works better if you can turn the rock so their foot is exposed to your bright lights (still in the tank) and if they start to move you can get them up pretty easily, but they don't usually cooperate that well.

For sure you have to move the rock that the BTA is on and relocate it away from the back wall.
