Don't worry

First up, if the nest is empty, just ruin it. He'll build another

If the rocks are small like gravel, you can suck them out using a small gravel vac (don't use a python, use one of the small ones that you suck into a bucket)

If the rocks are large, just reach in and carefully pull them out.

If you can't get them all, just move them away from the area where he is nesting so that the space directly under the nest is free from substrate.

If you can't do any of that, he'll cope You'll lose some eggs, but he'll do his best

For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

I succesfully moved them to the other half of the tank without doing much damage to the bubble nest! Yay!
