How did you get your bta off the rock? I`ve got 2 large ones to try and pry off their spot.

I use the tickle the foot and patience method.
I ensure the BTA is on a rock I can remove
Then I fill a small container with tank water and put the BTA and rock in it. I lift the rock so that the BTA is hanging off the rock and tickle its footing it can take upto and beyond and hour.

Default removing BTA's

In Albert J. Theil's reference "Heteractis Type Anemones" he advacates the use of ice cubes. (I guess you could put one in a ziploc) .It supposed to be especially good if they are on the glass. Just cool the edge of the foot a little and he says it will release.
Might work with BTA too. With care it seems to me it could be a low stress way to remove and move them.
What do ya think?
