![]() I have been told you can entice them to move by directing a small powerhead at them and perhaps put a small moveable rock in the direction they will be going to try to catch them on that rock?

![]() make sure they are healed over from splitting before you try to move them. The powerhead method worked for me, as well as taking the rock out of the water.

![]() Well I have only tried to do this once before and actually the dude left with my rock! Kept it in his tank until the nem decided to move off it and then returned the rock to me. I have not tried the powerhead thing so when the time comes I shall give that a try. Thanks!

![]() If you have decent fingernails its not to hard to carefully peel them off the rocks. If done slowly and with a little patience there should be no damage done to the anemone(s).

![]() I have heard that a credit card will work as well. I am just hopeful it is easier than the last time I tried this! Thanks for the advice and any tips or tricks are more than welcome.

![]() I have used the high flow method as well as gently prying them off. Each worked equally well. Prying is quicker but nerve wracking. These were very small bubble tips.

![]() I've kept a lot of BTA's and this is the only way I've removed them.. never fails. If however, they are sucked into a hole/crevice, you have your work cut out for you! Otherwise, fingernails haven't let me down.
