Anemone removal.

[urbanthreatz]

I recently bought a Haitian anemone at my LFS, well, after 2 months the thing has amost tripled in size, and even though i still think it's beautiful, it has to go. What is the best way to get it to detach from the LR without damaging its' foot?

Thanks in advance!

Gently rub the base of the anemone with an ice cub.

Never worked for me, I use a credit card and run it under the base of the foot.

If its in the live rock that might be hard to use.

I would be afraid to use a credit card, the edges are sharp and you might damage the foot

take a chain saw and cut it down.

but really y not just chizzle around the lr. or take a scaple or razor blade and carefully cut around it

that was my first guess, but my mini underwater chainsaw is in the shop this week...lol. Thanks everyone, the ice cube worked really well.
