Look at this.I have 25 BTA I put a power head in front of them when they get out of line 425 gallon hydor. And after a while they move on there own or start to detach there foot and have leverage to move them some of them love the direct flow this I put rock rubble around. Them to block the light and they move onto the rock rubble then place them where I want them.
So you were taping on the rocks while out of the water correct? I still have a few weeks until this move is done. But I’m trying to transfer them into my anemone holding box in my current tank until ready. ThanksTalking about rock nems...NOT bubble tips... Bubbles tend to wander easier than rock nems.
I’ve tried ice cubes and didn’t work. They foot is buried pretty far.Following. I need to move about 5 anemones off of their rocks because I don't want to reuse my current rock as the nem island has bryopsis and bubble algae. Going to be moving to a minimalistic scape as well as someone above, up to a 90g
I think I'm going to try ice cubes in a bag on the base of it, but the feet can go pretty far down in my rocks.
I was going to try this but my sand would blow everywhere :/I have 25 BTA I put a power head in front of them when they get out of line 425 gallon hydor.

That sucks. I'm thinking go straight to blasting them with flow so that they want to relocate on their own.I’ve tried ice cubes and didn’t work. They foot is buried pretty far.
Ive noticed with my RFA's they dont care much about flow, but instead of moving they will just close up. Light will motivate them howeverThat sucks. I'm thinking go straight to blasting them with flow so that they want to relocate on their own.
Interesting. So starve them of light so they move to a spot where they can find it?Ive noticed with my RFA's they dont care much about flow, but instead of moving they will just close up. Light will motivate them however
About 70% of the time.. the other 30% they will be stubborn and starve to death. Have lost more than a couple that moved under a rock and wouldnt leave there. I also read that if you hang the rock out of water, with the anemone hanging down just barely touching water he will let go. Havent tried it myself however i will have to soon as i will be doing a tank move in the coming months.Interesting. So starve them of light so they move to a spot where they can find it?

FYI...that wasnt me tapping on the rocks... I've never tried to move rock nems. I WILL have to figure it out soon enough for the tank upgrade.So you were taping on the rocks while out of the water correct? I still have a few weeks until this move is done.
