Getting rbt anemone to move

[recliner]

I have 6 rbt anemone clustered on 2 big rocks. I have people lined up that want to buy them but 1 of them is attached half on one rock and half on the other. If he would go all the way on either rock I could remove the rock and coax them all off into buckets to sell. I've had a powerhead blasting away right at it for 5 days now and no movement. Is there another way to get it to move?

I usually massage the foot with my finger but you can also use an ice cube or a cold butter knife and place it on the area you want to move.
Just remember to always take care not to injure the foot.

Thanks, I'll try the ice cube. Just rub the ice cube all around the base and foot? Should that get it to move right away?

It should move fairly quick in anemone terms. They don't like the cold. Just be patient with it. Just where the foot is attached.

Most of the time, it will get them to detach from their rock. Anemones have a mind of their own though and can be stubborn sometimes. LOL
