Anyone have any ideas how to remove rose bubble anemones without rock or manual removal. Most of my rocks are all secured together for years. I’m open to ideas but they are getting out of control and some of my smaller fish are going missing. Open to suggestions, suction hose maybe?

Agreed ! Aim a power head at them while giving them a alternative rock or non attached sub straight to move on to for removal

In addition to aiming flow at them, you can place ice cube at the foot and often they release.
A method I just learned at a seminar is to take a small external pump and attach tubing to it and aim current at foot- they will release and become free floating
