Why don't you just take them out and sell them or give them to LFS for some credit?

i have to much LR and there at the bottom, i'am not ripping my tank apart just to get the bubble tips out, way to much work

Direct a powerhead at one and be ready with a net. If you pi$$ it off enough it will detach and you can catch it. Might take some time but better than destroying a life.

also heard ice cube at the foot works. ... or offer someone to come for free bubble tip provided they know how to get it off the rock.

+1 to what Warren said. If you can't take it out, killing it will probably be in the "way too much work" zone too plus there is always that chance of nuking the tank while trying to nuke the anemones.

FWIW, AptasiaX will probably do the dirty job.

killing them will most likely nuke your tank

You should speak to Myka (Mindy) when she gets back into town on Wednesday or Thursday. I'm sure she can help. Seems like a waste to destroy 3 animals. Please don't get any dogs or cats. I say that totally in jest.

i love this hobby and don't want to kill anything
iam going to try one last time to get them out
