Hi all. Not new to the hobby but new to R2R. I found a nice rainbow bubble tip anemone from my lfs. It decided to swing itself around to the dark of my tank, on inside of my live rock, where it can't be seen. I can see it's foot/base through a hole in the lr. I have heard that using a piece of ice or a cold water blast from a turkey baster will make them release. Has anyone done this technique? Thx!
 
I wouldn't recommend it. I know it's disappointing when an anemone goes and hides where you can't enjoy it, but let it settle and in a while it'll probably move again. 🙂
