but here's a picture

 

[twintrades]

Did you switch to sand ?
thought you just had a thread on your substerate ?

 

[Salty-Noob]

Yes I did switch it already putting the live rock in the way I want it. But the last piece if rock has the anemone I had and Idk how to acclimate it because I did a 40% water change

 

[twintrades]

You drip the nem on the rock
At least 1 hr

 

[Salty-Noob]

Well it's a huge rock but ok I can do that hopefully it's ok...well it go into shock by just addin it

 

[Salty-Noob]

What can or will happen if I dump it in there?

 

[twintrades]

Might die.

 

[Salty-Noob]

Don't want that to happen it'll be tricky but hopefully everything goes smooth

 

[twintrades]

Try to use a Credit card and peal the foot loose in the corner. And slowly work it off. Might let go if you do that.....

 

[Salty-Noob]

Didn't think of that ill try it

 

[Salty-Noob]

Got it off now acclimating as I write

A powerhead...stupid phone. Picked up a nem a few weeks ago that was attached to a rock. Instead of trying to pry it off and risk damaging the foot, I pointed a powerhead at it. Within 12 hours it move off the rock and I was able to place it where I wanted.
