Removing a RBTA fro a rock?

Parasite · 06/05/2006, 06:40 PM

Well I have a friend that has a small RBTA for me but the problem is that it is attached to the same large rock that her large RBTA is on. Can someone tell me of any way to safely remove it/

Thanks,
Brett

If you can gently coax a fingernail or spatula under a slight corner of the base it will slowly start to release. You need to go slow and be very careful but this is a gentle way to release them.

i've also heard of taking an ice cube and touching the base with that or directing a powerhead onto it to get one to move.
