Not sure but i read that many people have problems regarding to get the anemone of the rock, it is really easy, get the rock out of the water, hang it upside down with the tentacles in the tank foot dry , wait for a hour or more, and you can just easy peel it of the rock. Nobody gets hurt this way :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

If an anemone is 3 feet in diameter - this becomes difficult - second - I think it does not necessarily work for every type.

Wel they really do shrink a lot, my Anemone was huge and it worked on her. She was in the process of splitting, i didnt see that untill i had her upside down out of the water.
 
Some anemones are exposed to air during low tide, such as gigantea and magnifica. I don't think this technique will work for those types of anemones.
 
I'd be concerned with tearing with this method, it's easier than you think. The nem cannon that @Eagle_Steve advertises is a safer method.
