How To Remove An Anemone From A Rock

• #ane

What is the all-time style to take an anemone off of live rock? I accept read that putting ice on information technology'south pes will brand information technology come off, sliding a credit card nether it and diggings it's foot with current. Volition a scraper be fine as in the credit menu method? Anybody have any other suggestions without hurting it? I want to return my anemones afterwards having gotten feedback on what weather condition are well-nigh suitable for them and although they seem happy now...I don't know what could go of them in the future so I would rather get out them to a pro to purchase and take intendance of them hopefully.

But its on a rock on the bottom of the aquarium...can I direct water at it's foot with a turkey baster?

Hmm...well I got the condylactis off and then far...he is floating in the sump in an open bag. Tomorrow I desire to get the ritteri out...he doesn't move but I hear they are not a good shot in a domicile aquarium...plus if I desire to keep corals I should be anemone complimentary no?

Well another reason I want to requite the ritteri back is that the female clown from my mated pair has become WAY to agressive since its arrival...the male was looking at the anemone from a distance and she swam out, bit his tail and pulled him effectually for a footling while not letting become of him...I am going to opt for a squeamish torch coral they accept at my LFS instead...as for the condy...I don't think it's worth information technology because it has a history of moving and so much. Adept luck with your set up upwardly! I tin always get corals that Wait like anemones I guess...they don't motility which is good. Exercise anemones and corals co-exist in the same environment in the wild commonly?

may i suggest doing what i did? rinse off a rubber glove (i say rinse to make sure there is no powder or any substance on it) and put information technology on. and then gently pry it off by using slow motions by moving your paw from side to side. ive tried the powerhead and it did nothing. be sure non to clasp the anemone though because they tin release a goo or gel and it can exist bad for the tank and you could as well impale him.

Frankly if the strong stream from a powerhead doesn't work I'd remove the rock and return it with it.
