Anemone up high in tank and need to do wat chg

[dcathey]

I have a beautiful rose anemone that loves to stay at the top of the tank and I am about to do a wat change and it will leave him out of the water for a few minutes. What do I do? Can I move him? Will he be ok if I just do my water change and he is high and dry for max of five min? If I have to move what is the best way?

Anemones are shipped out of water. At worst he will expel his water, or let go and fall back into the tank. either way, he won't be harmed. Do not try to remove him as you might damage him.

I have this problem w/my filter feeding cuke and anemone everytime I do a WC. Just do it as quickly as possible and they'll be fine.
