Pseudocorynactis requirements?

[Steveabg]

We got what we believe is a pseudocorynactis (orange ball anemone) as a hitchhiker on a mushroom rock. I cannot find care for this species anywhere, but it sounds as if they're not fond of strong light. It's currently on the back side of the rock, but we'd like to move it to another location, where it would be visible. Does anyone have experience with pseudocorynactis?

What we're wondering is:

#1. What exactly are the lighting requirements? Would it prefer the darkness it currently has, or would it do better under more light (but still low light)?

#2. Can we move it safely, without harming it, and how? Blast it with water until it moves off of the rock?

1) I have some growing under 250w MH in my 29g tank in full light, but most of mine are in the shaded areas. I would consider them low to medium indirect light, but adaptable to all lighting.

2) I've never tried to move or frag one, but you could always take a dremel tool with a cutting edge and a chisel to chip it and a piece of rock off. Then you can attach the rock it is attached to to something else.

Thanks for the tip, Travis. I'll give that a try.
