Luckily I managed to turn my power head off just in time ....nem use to live just above it but since I've changed my lights it's moved down

Anyway now I've not got as much flow going on in my tank and I wanna know how to get it to move on it's own
I don't want to touch this nem with my hands as it's stung my arm before when I was cleaning the inside of the glass ....took me a second or 2 to feel it and it left a nice rash

Anyone

Put some gloves on if you're reacting to BTA stings, like the yellow ones used to clean the kitchen that go up to your elbows. Then get some ice, put it in a bag, make sure it is sealed and lightly rub it's foot and it will slowly release. Be careful not to get any fresh water on it from the ice.

yeah BTAs have a very mild sting compared to most Nems. Be very careful and keep some benadryl on hand :p

Thats a beautiful tank... but where exactly do you want him to be? if he doesn't like his spot, there aren't many places for him to go.

I'd have to agree, there's no room for it. Where it lands, it's going to damage some corals.
