Moving a LTA to new Tank?

[aloysiusii]

I was unsure on how to move a LTA to a new tank without damaging it. I need to move it to a bigger tank because he is crowding the 12 gallon nano it is in know. If anyone knows of anyways of doing so please help me out. Thanks alot.

remove it with the rock it has its foot in or if its in the sand just dig your hand under its foot and lift

I do not want to destroy my tank by removing the rock it is attached to. How do I get it off the rock?

point a power head at it for several minute...it wont move right away but by the next day it should be in a new place that can be more accessable.
also i heard bout using an ice cube by its foot to get it to move, but havent tried that one

If its on a rock, its not likely an LTA (M.doreensis). If it is on the rock, a few tricks that might work;
A powerhead pointed at it.
An air bubbler at the foot of an anemone
An ice cube in a bag toucheing the base of the foot. Dont hold the ice cube on the foot continiously because it can "burn" the anemone.
