I've been neglecting my tank for about a month, I've not even cleaned the glass with working so much and any spare time has been christmas shopping.

Today I noticed a ton of baby rock flower anenoms all over the place. What is the easiest way to remove them without taking any rocks out, my rock structure is all one piece. Should I wait till they mature or is it easier to get them as babies? Super tiny, you can see a patch of bubble algae below, they are the size of a bubble.

I haven't tried it but I figure a mini anemone canon would work. If you don't know what an anemone canon is, then just search this site.

I'm thinking screwdriver and dig the rock up underneath them, it's life rock so its pretty easy to dig into. One issue I have if I dig the rock up there is a chance the anenom will fall into a crack and become lost.
Not sure why you would want to remove them.
I have racks up and running for aquaculture, I'd like to make them grab and go.

I would try to scrape them off along with some of the rock from beneath their feet. The goal would be to keep the foot completely intact, basically. What are your plans once you remove them?

That's really cool, I hope they grow well for you!
