OK, its outa control! Ive lost two corals to this monster (affectionatly of course), I have no more room to keep scooting corals back, some softies have been getting stung, etc. LFS will take him back, they said people are always looking for XTRA LG anemonies. Problem is, he is attached to a very huge piece of rock. I would never get the two out together. Is there any way to coax him to let go? I thought about moving everything in the tank to one side, and tilting the rock sideways to see if he will let loose on his own. Suggestions?

I have heard you can get them to let go by putting an ice cube in a ziplock and putting it on the nems foot.

Interesting, that would sure be easier than the afore mentioned! Its worth a try!!

According to Anthony Calfo the LTA is just as easy to propagate as a BTA.

... this anemone cuts well like every other... Treat this anemone like an Entacmea exactly... it will be fine my friend. You can see videos of us cutting these anemones from the TheImac.org and past MACNA DVDs FWIW - Anthony Calfo
