Red anemones

What's the best way to take a anemone off a rock . I have 9 large ones in my tank just no more room. Thanks Joe.

rub an ice cube on their foot... comes right off.

If the pedal disc is in a crevice or hole, you'll have to bust the rock. If it is attached to a flat surface, you can use a credit card or rounded nail file to gently pry it off. If they are too hard to get off the rocks, then it's best to leave them alone until they start to move around. Do not hold them out of the water upside down, do not point a powerhead that them, but the ice cube trick is safe to try.

Too bad your not closer, I could do it unless what tatuaje08 said.

Thanks I'll try it.

In my experience the only way to get one off safely with the least trauma is to the rock.

if we're talking bubble tips i found the easiest way was to have the powerhead blowing on them as i slowly worked their foot..
good luck!
