How do you get a nice healthy anenome off the rock without causing harm to it?

Take the rock out of the tank and hang it an inch above the waterline with the Anemone hanging upside-down in the water. It will slowly let go.

I will try that tonigh. Also will it hurt the anenome crab to be out of the water this long or should I take him off and just throw him into the tank somewhere else?
The reason I want this condi gone is because my BTA has moved close to him and I want to take condi back to store. However my anenome crab is hosting this one and once the condi is gone he will have to move to the BTA.
And how slow is slow? 5 minutes or longer?
Thanks again bang

Could be 5 minutes, could be a couple of hours.
