Transfering RBTA

[mitlik1]

I need to get a RBTA off a rock so I can cook it before placing it in a new tank. Any advice how how to safely do this? I am also looking to put the RBTA in a new tank. I have two about 5" in diameter.
Thanks for the input.

A couple of ways:

1) place the anemone by a weak power head (or vice-versa) so that it starts to move

2) What I've done is just take the rock (if it's moveable) and gently and slowly start to pry the anemone of the rock

I can try both. I have one inside of a tonga rock where the tube goes in a deep crevice. Should be fun!

Why would you cook the rock?

When I moved mine I carefully worked it off the rock since I was rescaping and it worked fine....

I am thinking about a BB tank/shallow bed and wanted to get all the gunk off the rock before I start the new tank. I have about 150 lbs cooked and will cook the remaining rock in my old tank.
