Ok so I started with 1 rbta about a year ago now I have 8. This is getting crazy. I have one big one on the glass that doesn't move 6 on a huge rock and now 2 on a rock on the other side of the tank. The ones on the huge rock don't really move but the now 2 on the smaller rock are moving into my other corals space. How can I get them off without removing my rocks? I have a extra mp10 I can try to flow them off the rock but if they move to my other big rock it might be impossible then to remove them. Is it possible to cut the rock under their foot? Lights just came on I'll snap some pics

If you need the ones on the rock gone I've had success chipping the rock away where the foot is. So that the foot is still on the rock when it's broken off. You have to be careful not to damage the foot though

Wow !!! That's a lot of nems, why don't you start selling them and leave the ones you wanna keep !!!
I'm nervous on trying to get them out safely. Not sure out to really get them out. I could try the flow trick but I'm not home enough to grad them when they start to move. I did get one out since he was on the move

Ok everyone I'll keep you posted in the order you replied here. Just have to give me time to get them out. I'm really only free to work on the tank till the weekends do to my work. And I like to trade for coral mostly zoas. ��

Those are the most beautiful "pest" anemones! That's a problem I'd like to have.
