Candy,
Before replying further, I would like to know more about your tank...
- what are the tank's dimensions?
- what kind of light do you have?
- what do you use for water movement and where is it/are they located in the tank?
- can you move the powerheads or whatever you use for water movement?
I have pried my BTAs off the rock, but it takes a long freaking time to do that. And I'm ALWAYS afraid of hurting the foot when doing so.
An even slower way of making an anemone move is to increase the water movement in the spot where your anemone is and making sure water movement where you want the anemone to be is lower.
Our first GBTA took at least six weeks of water movement experimentation to get the anemone in the place we wanted it with the right amount of water movement. It was frustrating, to say the least. However, I did learn a lot about the water movement requirements of that GBTA, so I chalk it up as a (long) learning experience
When we got our RBTA for our other tank, I had a pretty good idea where to put it in relation to the water movement issue. I was pretty close, too, as the RBTA only moved a few inches up toward the light and into slightly more water flow
