When you think you will be ready to get the fish out I would take the Tang as long as i don't have to drive down tonight.

I left a message on the MASC website. I'll take the Copperband butterfly.

Traded the fish and most of the rock for frags to the first responder. Might still have 15 pounds of rock if I can get the RBTA's off of them. Anybody know a trick?

Thanks!

rodi ice cube to the foot

I haven't had any luck with the ice cube trick. Put a powerhead close to and pointed right at the foot. It will take a little while but it will irritate the anemone enough to allow you to peel it off.

take the rock..hang the tentacles in the water but leave the foot out of the water and it will fall of back into the water...

All these ideas will work.
My favorite and the method that works fastest for me is:
Turn the rock over and hang the anemone upside down. Tap on the rock with the hammer. The vibration irritates the anemone and it will let go from the rock a little. Then carefully peel him off the rock.
Good luck.
Anyone else have a proven aiptasia eating butterfly?
