you can also rub an ice cube on it's foot, it'll move after that. just don't freeze the poor thing. I've never had much success with the power head method, but ice works everytime.

Funny, I just tried ice this afternoon to get a green hairy mushroom to give to a fellow reefer ( I have WAY too many)... and that little shroom just kept a-hangin' on and on, even through three ice cubes! May have to relocate one of the little colony of five BTAs I have after changing to the Vertex from MH and T5HO-- it retreated into the rocks-- it was positioned higher than the other four (and there's a baby, too), so it was closer to the light. I am hoping I don't have to go get it. It's tucked itself into a crevice created by three or four chunks of live rock... but its buddy, the second-highest-positioned, adjusted itself slightly and was fully present for the biweekly dinner feeding of mysis shrimp.

I think I will try the ice cube. My rock flower just moved back right beside my clam again. argggg...I think I am going to sell it. For some reason I don't know, it keep moving right beside the clam each time I move it. of course the clam does not enjoy the company.
