Cintax Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 They won't move if they are happy where they are. You can try agitating it by putting excess flow on it. Otherwise they do what they want. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Moving it yourself will only ever be temporary. If it wants to move, it will. If it wants to stay, it will. If you're trying to just entice it to move again, I've always had luck with blasting it with a 500gph power head. (Not too close so it didn't get damaged, but 9/10 times it works) if that doesn't work, you could remove that rock and try more intense options such as an ice cube in a bag on the foot, or even carefully peeling it off the rock. I've had success with slowly peeling, but never with the cold foot. Link to comment

Nixperience Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I found the least invasive and most effective way of moving them is the put something to cast a shadow on it. Back when I had a screen top, I would put a post-it note over it. It would move in a few hours. Link to comment
