Coralgurls tank build 180 - it's ALIVE

[miuYH]

Holy moly! The RBTA grew so big!!

[Coralgurl]

Came home tonight and my rbta had its tentacles wrapped up in the power head. Damage looks minimal. The power head is off for now as I will have to move it later.

Can't go to the right as I'd have to cut the gsp wall so to the left it goes. I wonder how big this guy is going to get??? I've read they can grow to a foot in the aquarium, but this one is bigger than a foot already ..... It's cool how when expanded it holds onto the neighboring rock.

Oh, and the gsp is now encrusting onto the other power head, moved past it and has hit the return. Bought some reef epoxy to stop its spreading on the rocks.

Have you tried prying under it yet ?
If it were me, I'd use a jeweller's flathead screwdriver and see if I could get under the rubber mat
When I trim mine back it just peels off the LR island it's on

Do you do it in the tank or pull the rock out? I'd have to get my snorkel and mask to do it in the tank.

I do it in the tank

Just grab the flat pointy object of choice and start digging under it
Then try to peel it off - it's like rubber/leather and will come off in sheets
