you have to entice them to move. Ice in a zip lock on their base, changing the current or lighting.. pulling them off may rip their foot.

Aiming a pump right at them usually works very quickly. The ice works well also.

I got the ice idea on this forum. might have been from you anemonebuff
 it worked really well when i had to move my LTA. He didn't let completely go, but it was enough to get him off the bottom without damaging him.
