See that's my issue, his foot is in a 3" or so cave in the rock, and when hes fully receeded... I cant actually reach or feel the foot at all its so buried in the cave. So I would be taking a good chunk out of my rock if I cut that piece off And selling the whole rock is out as I really like the shape of that rock and it has my pink monti, confusa, and orange torch encrusted on it.

Place a powerhead blowing against him and he'll move to a more reefer friendly location for removal

BTW, I love how your RBTAs are bubbling. What's your lighting ?

Ill try powerheads and ice one more time. But the rocks a bit of an awkward spot for having a powerhead on the glass pointing at him, his cave opening faces the center of the tank all awkwardly.

Haha well aren't they supposed to stay bubbled :P
That's all the same RBTA as well, he gets bigger then the photos show, a few members have seen it while picking up corals previously and made comments about how massive it was. 1 photo is from my SLR the others are cell phone photos which accounts for the colour difference. And of coarse hes a deeper red when hes been poked at and retracted a bit vs taking up half the swimming space in my tank and stinging all my montis.
Evergrow LED's Nova A8 at 30% whites 30% blues.

EDIT
Photo of the frag when I first bought the acans I have for sale.

This is adding fuel to my theory that Bubbling nems do more bubbling under LEDs;
Strong lighting is all they need for food and they no longer bubble

Enough sidetracking of your sale thread ... and thanks for your answer
Good luck with your sale and if you need any more help moving your nem send me a PM

Haha well I've had that nem for about 2 years now, think September 2012... Always been bubbled. It was under t5's for about 2 months or so, and moved twice during that time period but stayed on the same rock. Since I moved him to his new spot in this tank he moved once at the beginning from the back of the rock hes on 1/2" over so he could plant himself in the damn cave. Never moved since, never fed him, always poke at it and harass it, never not bubbled, but also never split, just grew massive and massive and massive....
Still counts as part of the sale thread... I mean I do want to sell him lol
Thanks will do!

Seen the bubble on a couple of occasions myself. It is a real sight to see. A truly spectacular specimen.
