BTA Wedged behind Rock

One of my BTA's (I'm up to 3 BTA's now from splits off a mother) decided to settle behind a rock. It looks like it gets enough light, but it's hard to feed there.

Is there anyway I can coax it out of there? And, if not, is there a reasonable way to feed it? I usually hand feed w/ gloves, but my hands are too big to get back there.
 
Try coaxing it out with a powerhead pointed directly at it.
If it gets real hungry it may eventually come out.

You may be able to feed it with a wooden skewer. Just stab your thawed out piece of food, give the skewer a good twirl so the food doesn't stick, and poke that baby nearest it's mouth as you can get. When the BTA grabs the food, twirl the stick ever so slightly so the BTA doesn't get stuck to the stick and pull back.

That's what I do!
