Anemones are AWESOME but sometimes an anemone can be our enemy! See what I did there?
So yes anemones are cool, beautiful, intriguing but they can also be annoying and deadly to other tank inhabitants. The biggest issues with anemones is that they like to wander around a tank. Then after they wander they often like to plant themselves exactly where you don't want them and then it's hard to get them to move. Over the years anemone enthusiasts have been figuring out ways to move anemones from one place to the other so let's talk about it today.
I recently read where someone was using the "cup and hole method. What is that exactly? Well it's pretty simple. You take a plastic cup, cut a hole in the bottom and place it over the anemone. Eventually the anemone will move up onto the cup and then it can be moved to wherever you would like it to go.
What is your go to way to move an anemone around in your tank?
Please share any tips or tricks!
This is not from the method above but is a really cool photo from @chizerbunoi!
