Anemone OFF My Rock

How do I get an anemonie off of a rock. I have the rock sold to a friend but
my ritteri anemone climbed onto it and won't get off. Is there a simple and
safe way to pry it off?

CAREFULLY slide either your fingernail, or the edge of a credit card under
the edge of the anemone's foot. Once you can start the separation from the
rock, the rest of it will come off prettty easily. I re-emphasize ,be
careful throughout the whole process...if you tear its foot, then it will be
at serious risk.

Good luck.

How good of a "friend" is it?

From what I have read, you are better off not trying to take it off of a
rock.

I suggest either selling the anemone with the rock or if you know the person
real well, perhaps you can make arrangements to get the anemone back once it
comes off on his own?

Also, you could try (re)directing current towords or away from it to
influence it's decision to move.

Thanks. It worked great. I can't believe how hard they can hold on. He's now
doing fine on a new rock. Told my friend to come get his rock now because if
the anemone goes back to it, it belongs to the anemone.

Your welcome. Glad it worked out well. Has it settled in on another rock
yet?

Yes. He settled on a rock last night but this morning had moved and is on
the prowl now to find the perfect place.
