How to remove an Anemone?

[HumanIMDB]

We purchased an anemone a while back thinking it was a bubble coral. Unfortunately for us, it attached itself to one of the only rocks we couldn't take out of the tank.

Now it has moved so at least we can see it, the problem now is that it has attached itself to the blastomussa.

Is there any way to remove it, forcibly, if necessary?

We've been told that pointing a power head at may cause it to move, but we want to get rid of it all together, without endangering the rest of the tank.

We got it for $15, we should have known that by the price it wasn't a bubble coral...

We're afraid something is going to happen to it and it will wipe out our tank or that it will damage something that we already have in there.

For one that small the ice-cube to the foot trick might work.

You can peel an anemone off a rock, if you can get to it's foot. Just be careful and slow. it will come. Rub an ice cube on it's foot.

If you can get the tip of a fingernail under the edge of the foot, you can gently peel it off the blasto. I'd recommend wearing gloves for it, to lessen the chances of tearing the foot and protect yourself from the slime it's going to release when it's stressed. The ice cube trick can work to get them to partially let go but it still takes some manual removal IME.

What are you going to do with it when you get it out? I'd say send it to me but you're in Canada, don't think that's legal.
