Rescaping a little?

[Nonfamous]

I hate to keep posting in the new to reefing area, but I really don't know where else to ask my silly questions!:frustrat:

I want to move a large rock in my tank. My Royal Gramma lives in one of the holes in this rock. Would it stress the fish too much if I moved it? (Its a BIG rock. About th size of a football. AMERICAN football!)

Does the fish ever come out of the rock?

Wiat for it to be out of the rock and then move it. It may stress him out a little that his favorite rock is in another place or -to him- gone....but he will adapt. :-)

I wouldn't try to move the rock unless he is in another part of the tank. Maybe at feeding time?

Usually he sleeps on the other side of the tank and hangs out in that rock during the day.

He will be fine :)

+1 everyone

And there is no such thing as rescaping "a little" LOL I bet you'll end up spending an hour or two on this ;) I know if I move ONE itty bitty rock, it ALL has to move :mrgreen:

I moved the rock just at lights out last night. This morning he seemed a bit confused but has since found a new hole to hang out in. I didn't move anything else, but I really don't like where the rock is now. I may end up moving it into the sump at the next water change.
