Colorado sunburst anemone split

[Gonefishin]

Just as I thought, it split again! This is my 5th clone within the past 4 months. They must love my water. They are however, impossible to remove from their rock without ripping them to shreds. Any ideas to get them off? I tried lights out and they still won't budge.

Don't have nems (yet) but I've heard putting a powerhead blowing directly on them will make them move

 

[Gonefishin]

Never thought of that. I'll try that tomorrow thanks

 

[Balz3352]

Beautiful nems by the way!!

 

[Rigo07]

They look beautiful ...

Putting an ice pack on/around the foot and slowly prodding it as it contracts. This somewhat of a slow process depending on how tight he's holding on. :shocked:

Powerhead method has always worked for me. Sometimes it takes a few hours but I had a GBTA that moved within minutes once.

I have used a plastic credit card before and it worked really well for me. Just need to be able to get to the foot of the nem. Once you get the edge of the foot free it should be pretty easy from there. I use my thumb to get it completely free off the rock. If you can't get to the foot right now I think a powerhead approach would work to get it moving.
P.s. If you decide to sell on of these beauties please let me know. I am still looking for one.

you can do an ice cube method. Take a ice cube and rub it around the foot of the nem and it will eventually let go

Are you planning on selling any of them? I an interested in one.

 

[Salty1]

I would definitely be interested in buying one too. If not this time please keep me in mind for the next split. Please, please,please!!!Thanks y

rub an ice cube on their foot works great for me.

I am curious to know what makes them "colorado" sunburst? Just tanked raised in the Mountains?

 

[AllysonP]

Keys island found them and named them

Are you going to sell them? If so I'd like one
