removing anemone from rock

[acer]

Anybody have a quick /easy way to get an Anemone ( green bubble tip) off a rock to be moved to a new tank? The rock is big and has other corals on it that I don't want to move. Any help is appreciated.

Bump I would also like to know in case I have to remove my condy in the future.

I've had luck with 2 methods.

1. Pull the rock out and hold upside down... the anemone may fall off in a min or 2.

2. Hold an ice cube at the base of the anemone to release the foot.

use a credit card and slowly move it against the foot and it will release
thats how i seen it done when i got mine and the foot was not damaged at all also you might wanna look in the clown fish and anemone forum for more ideas

Yeah...I've done it a few times, credit card works great. Just work around one edge and go sllllloooowww. If you can point a powerhead at the foot area, that also helps get the foot to move.
