Where to keep dislodged bta's?

[rtague]

So,because of a major aptaisia attack,I'm having to break down my 50g cube which houses 12 rbta.I'm moving everything to a 30g,while I bleach and clean the cube,starting over with new rock,etc,I'm hoping I can remove at least some of the nems,where can I keep them in the 30g,would those fish boxes work?also best way to remove them from the rock,thanks.

The hardest part will be getting them off the rock without damaging their feet. One thing you could try is putting them in direct flow from a power head...this has been known to make them move.

The best way i was able to make them move is to use something to block the light right above them n once they start to move it makes it alot easier to slowly peel the foot off the rock. Those fish boxes should be fine.

I’ve found the best way is to rub an ice cube on the foot, they will let go in a few minutes

Like this!
If I can manage to get them off, will breeders boxes be ok to hold them?.

Yup

That’s a lot of work. Peppermint shrimp of file fish work great at eating aptasia. Much easier then trying to remove a bunch af anemones and starting over.
