Apeterson 5 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Hey, I have some anemonies I want to remove from some rock. Does anyone have some tips and tricks? I would prefer to not move the rocks. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gonzo620 188 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 I normally wait on the anemone to move. When they’re moving the foot usually swells up and they are very easy to pick off rocks. If it’s not moving you can coax it to move by gently prying on the foot with your finger. It will come up slowly little by little. If only partly detached it will most likely move soon on its own after the partial foot detachment. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tanknovice 155 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 A turkey basting pushing flow at the base while gently prying on foot as referenced above is a great assist Quote Link to post Share on other sites
