    flame scallop and seahorses?

    I am moving the stock from 2 55 gallon tanks to the new 180 I plan on taking down one 55 completely and using the other as a seahorse tank. I have done research on seahorse org about tank mates. I plan on having 1 pair of eretus and 2 pairs reidi mated and tank bred.
    also I plan on having 3 firefish and one mandarin and one catalina goby in this tank. here is the problem I have a flame scallop in this tank and he has been there a year and a half hanging under a cave I know he will not be a good tank mate for the ponies what is the best way to remove him without hurting him?
    Thanks

    Move the whole rock or whatever it's attached to?

    Take nothing from the sea unless it is plentiful.

    Thanks Al, I think that is my only choice however acclimating will be a problem the rock is large maybe I can use a big bucket to acclimate and just drip the new tank water into it. uh oh new tank that maybe a problem in itself as far as his survival

    well for what it's worth yours has already far outlived many others in captivity. I know that's not the BEST comment now but you've been doing things right so maybe you'll keep getting it right

    yeah thats what I've heard. I think I will try to blow him with a ph in hopes of him wanting to move on his own and if he does I will acclimate him to the new tank and feed him every other day for a few weeks thats what I did when I 1st got him. if he refuses to move off the rock I will acclimate the entire rock and build him a new cave using the rock he lives in and hope for the best. I never expected to have him so long either but I have enjoyed him
