Best way to remove an anemone

[fishy7]

I have 3 bubbles 1 large rose and 2 med sized green. I am ready to just have the rose. Problem, how do you remove the greens safely and without being attacked by the pair of GSM's. Ohh they just laid eggs next to the green ones????

wait until the eggs are gone..no!

I plan on waiting till the eggs are gone but you can not go near the anemones without them attacking. I do not blame them..... I am asking if anyone has an idea to remove without being attacked. :thinking:

long plastic gloves. the type that go up to your biceps. either that or take the fish out of the area.

Thanks for the suggestion. Gloves look to be the best program. :happyfish

first, you will have to remove the clowns, as they will attack you to protect it.
then do not just go in there with gloves and try to tear it off!!! you will tear the foot and it will kill the anenome.
to remove them, go in with gloves and a sealed plastic bag with ice cubes in it.apply the ice to the foot where it is attached, and it will start to change colors and shrink up. after some time, it will start to let go. if it is on a small rock you can pick the rock up and hold it upside down while applying the iCe, which will help you. have a lot of ice on hand and make sure tank water stays out of the ice bag, or it will melt much quicker.
