    i guess i can try, it's pretty well cemented to a rock. maybe i can move the rock, but the anemone is damn near on top of it....i'll see what i can do.

    Ahh.. if it's cemented to a rock I wouldn't risk it. If it comes out of the tube, it won't go back in the tube most likely and die. Most of the big ones I had were loose and that's why I asked.
