Hoe do I move an anemone??

[kokamo]

Hey guys, I really want to move my Pink tipped anemone because since day one (about two weeks) in his new home, he moved to the back of the rock and out of my "good" visibility.
No I cant move the rock cause it's too big, I know not to peel him off the rock cause it will more than likly hurt him. I have the PH pointed toward him, but not right at him. He is swaying pretty good. I figgure this will make him move somwhere else maybe???
Any other hints would be cool,
Thanks in advance!
Joe

I moved a lighting around so there was more light in the front of the tank than the back. Within a week it moved toward front of tank. I dont know if it is feesable for your situation but its worth a try.

Take a an airline or long tube you can blow air through. Place at his base and gently blow air bubbles around the base. He'll start to let go and you just move the air around until he's completely let go. You'll want to have a small frag rock or something for him to attatch to as soon as he lets go.
Works like a champ. It's how I remove BTA's that I'm selling, it doens't hurt them and they will reattatch instantly when you stop blowing.

COOL! I will for sure try that out. It will be the first thing I try tomorrow after work.
Thanks!
