Can Should I remove my rbta or leave it alone? please help, thx.

Hi, I introduced my rbta to my tanK about 5-6 hrs ago. Its been moving around and finally chose its spot for now. unfortunately, it chose a spot on the bottom of my overflow box where there are little gaps. Heres a photo of what Im trying to describe. Most of its foot is inside those gaps, I can see some of the flow pressure pushing it in there, my question is, should I try to remove it or just leave it alone? I really dont want it to get sucked in all the way. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry about my title, I started saying something, then rephrased it but didnt delete *can*. Ooops.

I am thinking that it would be really hard to get it out of there with out damaging its foot. (( Isn't there another panel behind those slats, so you can easily get to it? ))

Thinking that you might have to turn off your main pump (( so the inflow stops sucking the BTA in )), and letting it move on its own.

If it does move to a better spot, keep an eye on it, maroons are really hard on anemones, and those look pretty big compared to the size of the anemone.

Im sure if I take my time, I can take it out. I tried turning off my main pump for about an hr but it didnt move. In the store the rbta was about 6-7" in diameter. When first introduced to the tank the maroons did nip at it but stopped. I'll keep an eye out for it. thanks for your input.

I'm guessing an hour isn't nearly long enough. I've seen a maroon kill a pretty large anemone before.

Yeah that fish is way to big for the nem. I've made the same mistake before.
