[Euclid]

I need to remove a LTA and a Condylactis from some live rock, what's the safest/easiest way to do this?

[BIGBIRD123]

squirt cold water on their foot.

how cold? i birefly tried some ice last night and it didn't budge...
I'll poke a hole in a water bottle and see what I can get done

i have had success w/ putting an ice cube in a plastic bag and slowly just touching the foot getting it to retract.

I yell at it for about 10 minutes move my powerhead and then he moves...

If you can suspend the rock its on above the surface of the water, lower the anemone into the water just above the surface and let its own mass dislodge it, may take a few minutes but it works and its safe.

The best luck I've had with RBTAs is blowing on their foot with a power head. Try to blow under it as it comes off.

Hope it helps,
