anemone that wont leave its clam

[MIKE ALERS]

hi this is my first time posting a thread , i got a problem with my anemone not wanting to leave the clam its attached to. I try shaking it off i try moving it also from diffrent places to see if it detach from it but it seems that no matter where i place it in my tank as long as it is with the clam it would stay there. How can I detach it from the clam without harming it ?

Why do you need to detach it. What type of anemone?

Gently slip your finger under it and slowly wedge the foot off the clam shell.

sorry it took so long to reply.but im new @ this.i was begging to think that nobody was going to answer back.by the way its a pink haitian anemone.....thanks for the reply

Yes I would definately try and remove your Hatian. Those anemones have one heck of a sting and could easily damage your clam if it is still on the clam shell.

take an icecube to the foot and use a power head. It will peel right off.
