Default FF: XL RBTA... But theres a catch! - South Poco

I want this ****** gone! NOW!
I've had a 500gph powerhead pointed at him for the last 4 days and he still persists on bubbling up and trying to look happy. I have tried ice. His foot remains happily planted in a little cave, so he just stretches the rest of his body away from the flow.
He is 12-14"+ fully expanded with happy bubbled tips.
I have seriously contemplated jabbing him until he is all shrunk up then epoxying over him.
If I can get him off the rock myself, he will be $50.
If you think you have the skill to remove him from the rock for me in 1 visit, with out damaging any other coral on the rock - or the general arch shape of the rock, he is yours free.


Photos of before power head pointed at him, and after. He does frequently get a bit bigger. But we are often jabbing at him with the pokey stick to make him shrink up. For perspective that's a 3ft wide tank. And the majority of him in that photo was facing the back of the tank.

(I will be out for a bit today but should be around later)
South Poco off Pitt River Road near Kilmer Elem.
PLEASE PM ONLY!

Hes gotten too big.
I cant put anything around him.
Stinging everything around it. An inch more and he will be wiping out all my coral on the rock to the left.
Id be cool if he split every now and then but he's done it once in 3 years.
It does look good but I just wish he was smaller and I had more room for other coral.

This is my 3rd set of clowns since I started salt water.
Not a single pair has ever wanted anything to do with my nem.

LOL! I'm kind of curious as to how this turns out I've never put an anemone in my tank because 1. they don't stay where you want them to and 2. they leave a swath of death wherever they decide to travel to and then 3. they make babies that do 1 and 2

They are gorgeous though...

But mine doesn't travel and it only leaves its swath of death in a circle of its house :P The 1 baby it spilt off didn't kill a single thing on its path haha
I honestly might like this thing more if it didn't get so god damn big!
Though ive heard they only split if their stressed and don't like tank perams or somethings off... as a means to preserve life it doubles itself. so I guess I can take it not splitting as a compliment


FOR THOSE ASKING IF THE ROCK CAN COME OUT!
Yes the rock can come out but you cannot simply peel him off the rock!!!
His foot is rooted into the vast crevices of this little cave. I have peeled a nem off a rock before and I have attempted to peel this guy. It just doesn't work! So unless you have a special tool or a secret something else, don't bother asking if you think you can just show up, remove the rock, and peel him off.

I just spent the last 20 minutes trying to get him off myself, with no success, there are some tiny crevices in that rock cave. And I have girl hands and finger nails so im 1up on most of the guys here for this type of attempt.

So you if you think can do it, at least tell me how you intend to do it prior to me giving you the okay. Because I am not having somebody come in and destroy my rock or kill the thing. I can do that myself.
