BTA help

[bohlke]

My BTA is in my QT tank with some other corals while I finish re-establishing my main tank. Its been moving around which is fine but yesterday I found it going through the eggrate under a rock. Is there anything I can do to get it to move again or should I just be patient? Here is a pic:

Wow! Did it squeeze down there all by itself?

It's probably best to just leave it alone there. They're very mobile critters and tend to find the placs they like on their own.

put a powerhead under the eggcrate, gently blowing on the BTA. It should retreat and allow you to move it.

Yeah and from what I can tell it did it through the eggcrate.

Thanks - its been really healthy, I am hoping it doesnt get injured moving through the QT tank.

Some people have used ice cube in a ziplock and slowly touching them with it... slow process but you can push him to a spot where you want him...

Good news - it moved again (whew) and now is on top of the rock. I think I am going to accelerate my move to the main tank as this is just too nerve racking.
