Anemone riding on snail???

[Jacobyang]

Um so this is a bubble tip that I got last month, and I recently just got a HUGE Mexican turbo snail 3 days ago. The anemone has been in one spot for all that time except today when it attached its foot on the snail??? What should I do??? This bubble tip is about 4 inches and the snail about 4 inches too.

Ice the nems foot and it’ll let go.

hi should be pretty easy to detach from snail

You can easily remove it from the snail and place it on a rock of your choice. Just gently nudge it off the snail with your fingertip. Don't pull it, just coax it away.

I once had a snail with bubble algae and an aiptasia attached to its shell, crawling all over my tank. Consider yourself lucky it's only a BTA!

This belongs in Tank Hilarity, not Tank Emergency...

When mine did this several weeks ago, I just waited it out and it jumped off and back to the rocks overnight. ‍

I guess I'm the only one that would leave it. I'm sure it would get off on it's own in short order anyway. Might as well amuse yourself for a bit.
