Need help removing bubble tip anemones

[Zone1090]

I inherited 10 bubble tip anemones in my used waterbox x60.2. They're all fine and growing. But I want a heavy sps mixed reef. Im sure when i bought tank there were 7.
Anyways I've tried ice, wave markers blowing on foot, turn upside down no

luck. My rock is very porious and I can hardly see foot. Please help me

An unfortunate predicament. How long have you blown the wavemaker at them?

Tried two different ones.
Probably 30 minutes on each. I managed to upset them but couldn't see feet

Have you tried removing the rock from the tank? If you do so and hold the rock upside down the anemone should detach itself or you can just use some instrument to pry the anemone loose.

Alternatively, you could also use a length PVC pipe, put it over each anemone to block light and have it detach from the rock and climb up the pipe (to get closer to the light) as which point you can pull the pipe out of the tank.

The DIY cannon (link above) Works great!

I have had luck with the anemone cannon approach , but some anemones are sneaky and take several attempts to get them. I had about 20 in a 30 tank and it took a while to get them under control. Some just get into spots you can’t attack without hurting something you want to keep.
