Anemone in filter

[timmyrules]

Hi, one of my anemones somehow made it into the bottom of the filter. I tried removing it, but it seems to be stuck. What should I do?

Cut out the slates and remove the nem. Add a screen around the filter so this won't happen again.

Is there any way around cutting the filter? If I left it off is there a chance it would come out?

Leave it off and the anemone will craw out. (Most of the time)

About how long should it take to come out?

Never happened to me before. I would leave it at the bottom of the tank for at least overnight. Most people reported that the anemone will self-extracted itself from the mess.
