removing yuma from glass

[JGoslee]

I have a yuma that was blown off of the rock it was attached to about 3 months ago. It's now stuck to the glass on the bottom of my tank in the back corner. Whats the best way to remove it from the glass without harming it?

Hey Jesse

I would try an ice cube on the outside and place it where the foot is......Other wise I might try a creditcard slowly pushed under the foot.....

I don't think I could get an ice cube where the foot is. The foot is stuck to the bottom glass in the corner. The tank is bare bottom.

Not sure can you see the foot from underneith the tank? Or is the bottom covered by a wood base of the stand? You could even try doing it with the ice in a bag rested right on the tissue of the foot.....Other wise the credit card would be your best bet......

 

[JGoslee]

Yeah its covered by a wood base of the stand. I'll try the credit card tonight.

How did it turn out Jesse? Did you get it?

 

[JGoslee]

I used a credit card and it came loose right away. Now I just need to know how to reattach it to some rock. Do I use glue?

 

[Azurel]

I would do this, take a fine net much like a fish net and wrap the yuma to a rock. Make it tight but not so tight that it will restrict it from expanding. Don't take it of untill it is attached.....

agreed^^ glue wont work....

I used a piece of pantyhose and covered the yuma on to a rock. Hopefully its getting enough light.

If you have a spot, put it on some coral rubble/coarse crushed coral where it doesn't get too much flow and let it attach to the rubble, then glue rubble to rock. I haven't tried wedding veil type covers in about 8 years, but I always had trouble with them for some reason (the mushrooms would always find a way out-too much current, I guess?).

I only one ric stay on the rock with super glue. The others attach if they are in a low flow area.
Cool new avatar Jesse.
