removing anemone from rock
Anybody have a quick /easy way to get an Anemone ( green bubble tip) off a rock to be moved to a new tank? The rock is big and has other corals on it that I don't want to move. Any help is appreciated.

I've had luck with 2 methods.
1. Pull the rock out and hold upside down... the anemone may fall off in a min or 2. 2. Hold an ice cube at the base of the anemone to release the foot. -J

use a credit card and slowly move it against the foot and it will release
thats how i seen it done when i got mine and the foot was not damaged at all also you might wanna look in the clown fish and anemone forum for more ideas |

Yeah...I've done it a few times, credit card works great. Just work around one edge and go sllllloooowww. If you can point a powerhead at the foot area, that also helps get the foot to move.
