Best way to remove a anemone...

we'll i'm currently in the moents of selling a few of my anemone's tmw..
can you guys give me pointers on how to remove a anemone off a rock...
I have him on the edge of a skinny tonga rock....

 

You have a couple interventions

1. Increasing flow to the area.

2. Using ice, and the anemone will usually move off. Just keep the exposure as bref as possible

Injury to the column or pedal disk can prove deadly to an anemone so patience is the key.

 

Ice???
you mean grab a cube of ice and rub the nem?

 

Yep, rub its foot. They're kinky like that.

 

I tried all that and then some recently to get my RBTA off a nice big green cap I was trying to sell. it had wedged itself in between the bottom of the cap and a 4-5# rock. after a week of blasting it with high flow, icing its foot, and hiding it from the light, I eventually just chiseled it off the rock . . . and now have a bunch of big monti cap frags with my RBTA stuck to one of them.

Sorry but LOL, that is one stubborn anemone.

 

i hade to move my amenones will go to the light so what i did was tun the rock so the anemone is away fom the light it will start to mover around the rock and back to the ligh this should bring him out of the crevis at theis time you can SLOWLY and GENTLY starting from one are peel the bbt of the rock i hade a small one and when i have to move him it takes about 5 minets for me to move him if you do it slow enough he should be fime just take your time (i have hade tom move mine about 4 times in the past eyar he is still doing great just go slow and dont tair anything and the anemone and you will be good to go)
