how do i remove a anemone

[Big_Pun]

its attached to a rock, i was told try pointing a power head at the foot, been doin this for 30 min, no luck???

I've used the side of a credit card to help them along off the rock. Doesn't damage them at all if you do it right.

time for round 2 thanks

Fingers... Just get your nail under the foot and slowly work your way across until it releases itself.

Yeah, fun huh? Your arm gets tired. I just do the powerhead thing (Maxijet 1200). Try to get the flow under the foot. If it grabs in a hole, it takes a while. It's a contest of wills and endurance. I've heard you can use ice on it's foot but I've never had any luck with that. It melts too fast.

well i have given up for the day, i just got back from new braunfels picked up a biocube 14g for 30 bucks with one bad ballast so now im taking apart some stuff to make it work

I used ice cubes in a freezer bag and the ice cubes didnt melt. worked for me

I have used ice directly on the foot or turning it upside down and wait for a day for it to move toward the light.

The best placement I have found for my anemonies are places with a cave they can retract into when they feel like they have had enough light (or whatever else is bothering them).... Keeps them happy and in one place.
