Hi everyone!
so I have a green toadstool leather coral that Ive had for quite some time. It was doing great but my BTA decided he liked the location of the leather. So it moved to the same rock, and when its fully open its basically engulfing the leather coral. Needless to say, I need to move the leather.
My issue is that, the leathers stank has fixed itself to the large rock both it and the BTA is one. Like its laying on its side. So the majority of the stalk has fused to the rock. I cant tank the rock out without also taking out the BTA and a big hassle.
Can I just slowly pull the leather until it comes off the rock? What if it rips, will it release a bunch of toxins in my tank? (its a 150 gal mixed reef)
Should I just cut off as much as I can, (the head and some stalk) and let the BTA tank over the remainder of the stalk? Or just rip the stalk out after I snip?
Im most worries about releasing toxins into my tank and a crash. So any advise or help would be great.
The BTA is closed right now so I could get the pics. But image that whole area I'd cover by the BTA normal. It's the size of my head now
Thank you
