Coral hostage

Naiad · Dec 7, 2015

So someone has pulled my baby rainbow plate coral under a rock. Any ideas on how to retrieve the hostage with as little damage as possible. My tank is deep and I can not reach the rock. It is also the home of my blood cleaner shrimp so a collapse would be very bad.

Can you reach it with a spoon?

Edit: I reread, I guess if you can't reach the rock, you can't reach it with a spoon.

Do you have scuba gear? No I'm kidding, ^ tongs should work great!

You know plate corals can "walk" right?

It may have moved on it's own.

Yea but unless this one does handstands I don't think it is to blame. I have rescued it out of the claws of an emerald before... he just earned himself a one way ticket this time.
