Anemone removal

[zabrazuma]

What would be the best way to remove anemone from a rock?
I can't remove the rock from the tank, also I can't braek the rock ...

I take an ice cube and run it around the foot. If the first ice cube melts, get another.

Once the foot starts to release, gently slip your finger under it and pry it off.

Works 100% of the time for me.

Best of luck,

i would do the same thing but make sure you make your ice cubes with RO or RODI water

Or just put the cubs in a zip lock bag and then no worrys about ro water

For me, it usually takes no more than 2 cubes to do it.

I hold the cube in my hand until it melts, then grab another cube.

Given how small the cube is, I've never made them with RODI water in advance. I don't think a couple of cubes would do any harm.

If you are worried about ice cubes melting, I guess you could also do it with a mini gel pak; but, if it leaks that would be much worse.

Best of luck,

Roy

I've also heard that aiming the a power head at them will get them to let go. I've not tried this myself, but I know folks who swear by it. HTH
