How would you move a haddoni to new tank?

[dylana407]

I have a 55g with a red hadonni. I want to upgrade it to a 120g. My plan is to move everything to an empty 55g, then move the 120g into place. I will move everything to the 120g when ready. My problem is how do I get the haddoni off the glass? I'm afraid to disturb the sand bed.

Peel the foot of carefully off the glass

Cant peel it off without moving the sand.

You're going to have to disturb the sand bed somewhat. Work the foot with a flexible credit card until you can get a finger under it. Once get a finger under it's easy to work the foot loose. I like to wear a glove to keep the nem from sticking to me but cut the finger off so I can feel what I'm doing. Have to work with some urgency as the nem can hunker down and be difficult to remove. Done this a few times and while it does stir up some nasty gunk, it's not too bad.
