Best way to get a BTA off a rock

[CockyBrock]

So I have several RBTAs and I need to get one off the rock...but the problem is his foot is burried deep inside the rock in a TINY hole...and I don't want to bust the rock as it's a great piece and I know better than trying to pull him out as it would just tear and damage the nem...

Any ideas?

Drill small holes around where his foot is and chip it away. I just did this a week ago and cut my GBTA it healing nicely

Try pointing a powerhead directly at it. It may dislike the flow and detach, or a least move to a better place where you can get to it. I've put ice cubes by the base and they decided they didn't like that and moved as well. I've heard some people holding the rock upside down out of the water too and seeing if it falls off but I've never tried that. Good luck.
