Might anyone have any suggestions on getting her off the magnet. I would allow her to stay there, but I'm in need of it and to replace it I would have to dip into Korbyn's College Fund, if you know what I mean.........lol

Thanks,
dosh

you can try rubbing an ice cube on its foot they will usually move away from it

id say you lost that magnet . at least temp, unless the anem really likes that spot.

 

[Laakmann]

wut about moving the magnet to somewhere the nem wouldnt like as much so it moves off?

Come on guys, its not that hard to get a bta off a smooth surface like a magnet.
Just gently work you thumbnail under the edge of the foot. Once you get the tip of your thumb under the foot, gently work it around the edge of the foot.

Also -- use caution using the ice cube removal. Use an ice cube in a plastic bag, an ice cube directly on the skin of an anemone can burn it badly (been there, done that ).

But like Gary mentioned ... it really shouldn't be that hard to get an anemone off a smooth surface..

I was obviously kidding when I said, "time to get a new magnet" but like Phender said, its really not that hard to relocate your RBTA. Just gently get your thumbnail or like a credit card and slowy wedge it underneath the foot. Once you have it off, put it on the rocks where you think it will recieve the acceptable amount of lighting and flow. Good luck.

I don't have to buy a new magnet, she gave it up!
