I need to take out my carpet anemone. He is eating all my fish. I tried pulling him out with no luck. Please help.

I dont advocate this but I have seen carpet nems that ended up having to be cut out......I would try all else first..

It may take a long time but you need to start working at the base of his foot trying to slowly get him to seperate by massaging with kind of a pushing and lifting motion. I use my thumb..try putting ice on his foot if that doesnt work...just rub it back and forth.....can you pull out the rock if he is attached to one???

Try an ice cube against his foot.
