Placed the thermometer strip on the inside of the Triops kit tank. Can I move it without harming my Triops?

My Triops are 3 days old, and I ‘dummly’ put the thermometer strip on the inside of the tank instead of the outside thinking it had to touch the water. But now it doesn’t have any color at all. Do I move it? And will this risk my triops. If it does I won’t do it. I don’t to risk it. So far i’m doing great. I’ve got like 8 alive. From 11 eggs.

    Jeez
    8 alive from 11 eggs?!
    You are doing good!

    Yes you need to take the thermometer off.
    I don’t know if it will work afterwards but it might release toxins into the water if you leave it.

    Good luck!
