A fellow reefer told me to pry the edge of the foot off enough to get your finger behind it. Then I just pulled it off slowly and carefully.

Did you get the blue one?

E Rosewater · Jan 5, 2014

I didn't, I want a gig not a haddoni. It was a gorgeous anemone though.

Seems right. It slowly sways back and forth. It ate a small piece of food today.
