you can always take a blowtorch to it,thatll make the one you couldnt get come out.Ok so I couldn't find my tweasers so I used needle nose. The thing wouldn't budge. Only thing that budged was it's outer skin. EWE!!!!. So I broke open the rock after I broke a flathead lol. Broke it in half and there were 4 more cavern's, and one was huge. In the middle were two MORE wormy things. One real long, skinny and almost transparent (think another spagetti worm), the other spaghetti worm got lost some where, but this was bigger than the other and about 5 inches.
So the rock is in a milk crate outside til I decide to let it "die" or "toss", I'm leaning toward tossing because I don't like the shapes it broke into and also it is VERY dense, other than those caverns it is SOLID. And there was another critter poking it's head through and I couldn't break it close enough. So 1 rock became 3.
I'm gonna take out my other 2 live rock now. This one was the medium rock. The way the other 2 are they must be pretty dense also because they are heavy too.
