new rtba stuck in rocks no luck on moving it

[solarwrx]

just spent a pretty penny for a mated pare of clown fish and a rtba, something i been wanting for a while.

the damm rbta went under a rock upside down and into a hole with no luck on getting it to move,

i tried a slow water stream to urge it to move with no luck, and the location is nearly imposible to get a power head into that area.

i dont want to poke it and i dont want to break down my rocks to get it out, i have about 140lbs of it and no desire to move it !

any sugestions would be great on how to get it out?

the new anomones are going crazy trying to find it.


much apreciated

Just leave it alone, it'll move soon enough on its own...

 

[Azedenkae]

Yep, just leave it be, it is just adjusting and will find. And then the clowns can go for it.

how long should i waite ?

Until it comes out. Attempting to move it or changing the environment around it will only stress it more. It could take anywhere from a few hours to 2 or 3 weeks for it to fully acclimate itself to your system. You should also refrain from trying to feed it until then. Nems lack the mental capacity to understand that we consider them pets.

LOL ill try to explain that to my impatient wife LOL who is fusterated we paid so much money for something that we cant even see,

give it time.

and even then, there is no guarantee it will sit where you want it to ... it will decide where the best place is and stay there.

Sometimes it can take long for them to come out. I have 1 that was hiding many weeks and then it keeps walking around the tank , have it for a few months now and it is still walking around, it just doesn't want to stay at 1 place ,but my other 1 has never hide and stayed where I put it, never walking around the tank. Last week it even split. Now I have 3
