Question Moving!

I need to move my 24G Aquapod from my front house to my backhouse. I have a Bubble Tip Anemonie that has attached itself to the back wall. What's the safest way to get the anemonie off without harming it?

You can gently peel its foot off the wall but be very careful not to damage it.

thats funny, I recently had a similar problem. It was suggested to me to try ane icecube in a ziplock to see if that will get him to release. I ended up not needing to try it though, I just waited (I wasnt in a hurry) and did get him when he was in the process of moving on his own. Good luck, it sure would be easier if he was on a rock!

I have safely removed Anemones from glass and Acrylic aquarium walls using a credit card. Work slowly and gently.

Thanks for all the advice. I ended up using an algea glass scraper. It took a while but he came off safely... not very happily though

Neither of my anemones look all that great today though. I hope the move didn't shock them too badly. I decided to give them a break and not try to feed them until tomorrow.
