@#$%! BTA
Anyone know of any non-traumatic ways to get a BTA to release it's hold on LR? I'm changing my system up to a 90gal aggressive /FOWLR set-up. The BTA has chosen to live in a great giant pacific barnicle that I'd really like to keep. Any thoughts??

I've tried the powerhead myself and some of my btas seem to just LOVE that and willingly stay. I've had to just rearrange or shade the area by other rocks or black acrylic and then the bta moves out once it decides it needs more light... just a thought, might work for you if the PH doesn't.

Honestly... take your finernail and pry him off if its accessable. It does not harm them, BTA's are very hardy given you have good water paramters and such.... just pry him off.

 But I have been to chicken to touch it. so there area around him has been a little neglected. I do have the big coralife gloves but it's like picking your nose wearing boxing gloves. I tried the powerhead he loved it, I tried putting a big rock on top of him for a few days nothin now he partly shaded under my frag rack and he likes it

Unless you have really sensitive skin, you can't really feel most anemone stings (from what I've been reading anyway). My BTA, at it's stickiest, feels like velcro.

BTA's are harmless.. they do feel kind of weird however... like mentioned that velcro feeling..
A condy may be another story though??? Not sure, I wouldnt be too worried though!
