remove the rock with coral, place it upside down in a small tank or large
container of tank water with heat and pump for water movement, suspend the
rock over the container so that the coral is immersed and wait. It will bail
out as the rock drains of water, could take a while. Heard of someone doing
this to remove a mantis - took 12 hours mind!
