is ok to move my love rock around while my fish are in the tank?

[nostradamus]

Hi i was wondering if it is ok to move my love rock around while my fish are in the tank or will it stress them out and kill them?

My attention is generally not on my tank when my love rock is moved around. This does happen from time to time in the vicinity of the tank and I have not noticed any ill effects.
..or did you mean LIVE rock?!?
nah, just make sure the fish are out of the way when setting the rock back down.

There is a place on the edit my post that will let you correct the title...Slice you're so cute
If you set the rock on the bottom move the sand out of the way so you don't build on shifting sand

Ive never lost anything doing this. But my dad has crushed shrimp before. Just be sure you do it slow and easy, they will try to get away from your hands anyways.

I have never had any ill effects moving my live rock around. Just be slow and steady.
