I have a Yuma that decided to move and leave a couple of babies behind. I'd like to relocate them if possible, but I'm not sure how to go about removing them safely. They're on the main rockwork below an overhang right at the bottom of the tank, so it seems like it would be challenging to try to get anything under them. Any tips on how to move them? Is my best bet just to blast them with flow to see if they release naturally?

You run the risk of damaging them, but I usually try to remove an edge of the foot with a fingernail or a toothpick. Once you get a bit unattached you can usually slowly peel them off the rock like a sticker.
