my large bta set foot on my star polyps

[bullitr]

will it (star polyps) survive? i try to remove it but i think it will create more problem because my bta foot have a good grip on the rocks that the star is on .i move the rock at up in the tank hoping the bta leave the star polyps rock .

If its directly over the green star it will kill it because it will block the light and flow and will sting it.

I would move the rock and make it unfavorable for the aneneome. Maybe put it in direct flow of a powerhead? Closed GSP's dont' seem to mind being in direct flow for a day or two at all.
Might want to rip off a chunk of the mat of GSPs and put it on another rock incase it does kill them so you can keep growing them and not lose anything.

I would put it directly next to a powerhead and shade it from the light.

I'm really surprised that the anemone is not getting stung up by the star polyps as well. They pack quite a punch too.

You can aim a PH at the bta or place a bag of ice around it's foot. That should encourage it to let go.
