I would make sure any powerheads or anything that the nem can get caught in (filter tubes) are covered. When they aren't happy, they will roam the tank until they find that happy spot.

haha. I haven't tried tickling but I've tried using ice on the foot. Worked ok when attached to smoother rock but if the rock is super porous, you'll have a hard time getting him off easy. Ice has worked for me 50/50
