I added a crocea to my tank but it choose to place itself up against the front glass. How can I move it? I tried but its got a solid hold on some clumped up sand and I don't want to indure it. Is there a way to make them release their hold?

try to dig around and loosen the sand. If it is only attached to the sand you are good to go. If it is attached to the glass, you will need to carefully scrape the threads loose from the glass using a razor blade. Like you would do to scrape coraline algae.

Crap!!! that sounds like surgery! The bottom layer of sand is clumped up good and thats where he is attached. He dug himself down through the loose stuff. Don't know how I can get a razor blade under there. Maybe if I ask him kindly he will move:D
