Sounds like I'll have try the power head method as the rocks are too hard to remove and not sure I can get an ice cube at the foot area. Hope I'm not going to regret getting one of these guys! But they are kinda cool.

I got one of mine to release just by rubbing around it's foot with the dull end of a toothpick. Took a long time but when I repositioned him, it grabbed on right away.

Before you remove one - it's a rough procedure... Give it a few weeks to heal. I tried to detach one that had recently split and it died. After a split they are fragile and need some healing time...

I read that about them I'll leave them be for a few weeks for sure, as Dunc mentioned some small pieces of rubble would be good, I'll try that when I do attempt a removal.
