The trick is - how do I peel it safely from the rock without
hurting
it?
Anybody has a trick to this job?

Let us know how it goes.

Since I do not have 3rd tank to put it in, even temporarly,
I have to find a person who wants it first, and then when
we meet, we will try to move it out from my tank to some
plastic bag for transport :-) I will try your method then.

Do you have a refugium?

(If not, why not? :-))


:-)


I do not have a refugium... Why not? Maybe lack of room?


I have some macro algae growing in the sump (chaeto)
but the sump is just a simple 10 gallon tank, so the anemone
put there would be quickly grinded by the QuietOne 3000
return pump...


I have a BakPak refugium/skimmer combo.
Needs about 8" behind the tank.
Works well, and gives me a good temporary place for things.


My tank stands next to the wall with less than 4" clearance...

In terms of preparation an anemone for future sale I am not sure
if refugium changes anything here - nothing stops an anemone
to move from this small rock to a refugium wall corner and you
will be still not able to take it out easily when the buyed visits you.
