Anemone relocation

[clancaster23]

I picked up a rock flower anemone for my 75 today. Acclimated it all day and I dropped him in near the front of the tank in the sand. Now it looks like he is slowly crawling onto the front glass. Obviously I do not want it sticking itself there so if I need to, how to I get it off of the glass so I can move it to another location without hurting it? I was thinking I could use my algae scraper but not sure I should.

Use a credit card, it is more blunt than the algae scrapper which will probably slice it.

Or the cool edge of a butter knife...they don't like the feel of metal. You could also point a powerhead at it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Now it looks like it's starting to dig down in the sand so maybe it likes where it is although I really didn't want it smack dab in the front of the tank lol. Maybe I'll move it once it settles down.

Will you post a pic soon? I love flower anenomes although you don't see them much down here in Australia.

I can but you won't be seeing much lol. It's partly up against the front glass and and all you really see right now if it's foot and the top part isn't really open since it's still acclimating to the tank. Not very pretty but I will post one here once it sets in and opens.

The pic I promised. It's actually attached itself to a small piece of rock .
