So, I bougt a new RBTA... Did a drip acclimation in plastic tupperware... Well, he decided to attach his foot to the tupperware so I had to get him off. The person I bought it from told me he takes out the rock it attached to. Puts it upside and hang the tentacle only in the water and massage the foot that is out of the water to help him let go.

Pretty neat process that works, but it started to do something else instead of letting go.

Inside the tupperware after 2 hour drip.
