removing a pink tipped giant condy

[tycham]

I've had a couple of condy's for about 6 months that came as a "bonus" in a coral order. At first I thought they were kind cool and a Tomato clown I had to remove from another tank started hosting one of them imediately.

Now they have gotten pretty big and are starating to take out other coral, they've taken out some sps have stung a leather and are now messing with a galaxea.....I think I'll leave one of them in there, to keep the tomatoe clown on that side of the tank (I have a false percola at the end of the tank (250 gallon) that hosts an elephant ear mushroom). But I'd like to remove the biggest condy.

How do I get it loose from the rock to remove it?
Thanks,
Romayne

if you have an extra power head aim it at it (not directly but increase the flow) usually the extra current will force them to move. This works most of the time for me !!

you can also remove it manually just SLOWLY AND GENTLY peel the foot from the rock. if you have something plunt and small like maybe a penny sometimes you can kinda wedge it under ther a pull it up but do it gently

Do NOT use a penny! Copper!!

Credit card edge, or something if absolutely necessary. Try a rodi icecube. Heard that works.
