help with rbta?

hey all i am trying to get some rbta off of some rock i have and just llooking for some better hints. i have about 10 to get loose

I've never done this but heard ice cubes on the foot will make them let go, or pointing a powerhead right at them so they get unhappy and move. Maybe Vishnu has a good trick though.

10? You have 10? YOWZA! I just have the one and it hasn't gotten very big. We're thinking of trying to feed it every day and see if it splits.

It seems like I heard someone talking about pointing a powerhead at them to ge them to detach. I'm sure someone will pipe in that knows for sure.

Good luck!

Do you have a pic and will you be at the meeting ?

Another good way to get them off is use a plastic picnic knife to scrape them off when I use to let mine clone that I found was the easiest way to get them off with out hurting the foot.

i domt think i will make the meeting, i want to to see the drill tank but it is a little to far for me, but if anyone from fargo is going there they can stop by and pick them up

If you seriously want to get rid of them, I will be in Fargo this weekend and am interested

I put a post on Jim D Reef about the meeting so maybe there will be someone coming. It is only about a half hour farther than grand forks to come here. I think from Fargo to GF is 80 miles and from Fargo to Bemidji is like 110 or so. But maybe someone will be comming you never know

Will a RBTA kill my corals ans clam ?

I have got one rbta in my tank and it has not killed anything. And it has been moving around alot latley.

I'd take one if their up for grabs too. Mabe Dedex would pick one up for me and I could get it from her if she makes it to a meeting some day? Wait....Val, are you having the next meeting at your place? I'd like one for my nano and I'm not sure mine is ever going to split!

Not to hijack this thread. I have a bunch of them for sale/trade ...let me know if you guys need anything and I can bring it down. I have several available.

the rtba has never been mean to any coral i have had. the one just split and they were living on a leather cabbage coral. they seem to like each other. once they start to split they seem to do it faster if you feed them. try scallops, thats what i feed them, also my carpet has been trying to split but i really dont like him so anytime i see him start to tear i move him in another tankn
