best way to catch it? lol well, can you remove that piece of live rock it's on? if so, then it's fairly simple. i take the rock outside, get a hammer and chisel, and chip away the rock around the foot of the bta. don't hit the bta!!! also wear some safety glasses :) once you chip away part of the rock that it's holding onto, it will peel right up.

if it is splitting, then one half will usually stay, and they other half will wander some. you can catch half when it wanders.
