Pic? If it is a smooth surface it should be easy to peel the nem off and put it where you want it--and then watch it go where it wants to.

He's probably not moving from that cup. You can take the cup out, put it in a bigger tray/tupper with saltwater and get to work on releasing its foot. I would just massage the edges of the foot that are stuck to the cup until they release. Avoid pulling the nem, just push its foot till it starts to slide off the plastic. Then pick it up and put it where you like with the flow off for half an hour or so.

If you direct flow at the cup, it will want to move and come out. Best is to cut flow and allow it a couple of hours to establish its footing

Sorry - like you said the picture is too dark.

Is there a particular concern you have?
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
