Ok the move has happened... It was lots of fun... the only thing I have left to move is the occasional star baby starfish and snail I find... And also the sand...

But I have one more coral to move and need some consultance as to how to move them... There my Xenias that moved onto the glass. I have about 4 -5 of them on my glass now but I don’t want to loose them. They are not the Pumping xenias they are the brown longer ones... I though hmmm maybe just use a razor blade and cut them off and then glue them to a rock in the other tank? Not sure if that will work but its the only thing I can think of...

You can see the xenias i am talking about on the right side of the glass there... They are the only thing left in the tank now...

That will work fine Mike, i dont really think there is any other way to be honest...Am sure others with more experience will chime in on this one...but, it seems the logical way to get i off the glass...

The blade is the ticket. Make sure it's a new, clean, and sharp. Some new and clean elastic bands would also be good to have on hand. Nice tank :clap:

yea nice move have fun with it!
when i move my xenia i either superglue them to rock or ill rubberband a mesh over them on a small rock. the blade it perfect and good luck with all the fun to come.
