Question How to move maxi-minis?

I have a few maxi-minis that I would like to move from one tank to another tank. What's the best way to get them to let go of the rock they are holding on to? They shrink down from 3-4 inches to 1 inch in size when I try to get close to them.

Blasts power head on them or break the rock.

Use an ice cube to get them to release, a power head will just force them deeper into the rock if there is access underneith them.

Thanks lpsreefer. Thanks Greg. So I take it that they behave just like a BTA. I'll see if those tips work tomorrow. Good night.
