Make a couple 5 gallon buckets of water, syphon them out and dump down drain. Just like cleaning the tank. Suck EM up, when the disc doesn’t let go, pinch it with your finger like you’re removing crap, pull, and syphon it all out and dump.

dont kill them.. pull them out and sell or give them away... easy to get $50 each for them.. i had the same issue.. maybe 40 from the same parent. pulled them out and put them in a separate sump.. have made about $500 so far. all local sales. those are RBTA's...

Agree with everyone on selling them, even if you ask $25 a piece. It’s better then throwing them away. Plus you Make some cash to buy some coral or supplies. Shoot, you can even practice on your shipping skills.

Here they are 80 to 250 in stores , 40 to 60 reefer to reefer. Easy money if they reproduce like pests...

Hey I’m actually curious what your parameters are like? For your nems to explode like thatDoes anyone have a way of easily killing BTA's. Something like Kalk. but more potent? Ice, lemon juice, powerhead, removing rock aren't good options.
BTA's are like the Aiptasia of my tank so no Anemone Police responses please.
I would just aim a powerhead at them and when they start to move, scoop them up and sell or trade to LFS. You can put them in a cheap breeder box or such.
I would not want a dying BTA in my tank. They smell pretty bad too if you touch your hand on a dying nem.... wash your hand like 10 times in hot water and soap and the stench is still there

Yep, dead anemone stench is hard to remove... and their decay really messes up the water.I would just aim a powerhead at them and when they start to move, scoop them up and sell or trade to LFS. You can put them in a cheap breeder box or such.
