How to move anemone?

I've had my anemone for a year and a half now. My biocube has many other corals and has been running for 2 and half years. I know how to care for corals and my tank. I'm just trying to figure out the best way to transfer this guy cause I have never moved an anemone.

 

Use the ice cube or finger massage on the foot method.

 

the best way is to get it to let go whether its you prodding it with your finger under its base or making the conditions unfavorable for its base.

 

Ok I wasn't understanding the full situation, my apologies

You can try aiming more flow at it to try and disturb it enough to move. Is the rock it's on unmovable? You could also just sell the nem and get the buyer to replace the rock it's on.

 

You're fine.

I'll try all this tomorrow afternoon. Thanks guys!

 

are you keeping all the other corals in your biocube with the nem?

no need to get snippy with everyone asking pertinent questions. BTA's grow very quickly and no matter how experienced you believe you are and how perfect your water params are...under the right conditions, lighting, target feeding, a BTA will easily triple and quadruple in size in a very short period of time, it will quickly outgrow a biocube. If you are trying to keep corals and the GBTA in the same biocube together, that is a recipe for dead corals as it grows larger. Although I have 3 BTA's in my 55g reef I am extremely wary & respectful of their tempermental nature and take all advice from fellow reefers with an open mind & thanks, not ego.

 

How was he being snippy? He asked a specific question and got totally diffrent answers based on assumptions. This happens alot on threads.

 

Thank you. I don't know where I got some of the answers I did. I wasn't be snippy. Just trying to get back on topic.

How do I introduce my anemone to a new rock?

 

Assumption is a good thing in this hobby, many times it translates into reality. Lots of members had good suggestions & questions nothing not pertinent, didn't see the need for the "blah, blah, blah" just say thank you as that's what you came here for in the first place, advice/opinions.

 

OK thats fine to give extra advice but stay on topic as well. If one notices somthing that may be of concern, ask about it or express concern then answer the "question as well" As the name of this thread wasnt "should I keep an anenome in a biocube" It was "how to move an anenome"
but still plus K MoJoe cause I do understand where you are coming from.
