Hi, two years ago I bought a rose bubble tip anemone that has slowly turned into 7-10 medium to large anemones. I've tried many different ways to get them to move so I could catch them and remove them, but the things don't want to budge. My area MAS's frag swap is coming up and I've decided to fully remove the rocks that the anemones are on and move them to a temporary tank to get them to move off the rock (by turning the rock upside down, I've read).
I need to do this task at least 2 weeks prior to the frag swap so I have time to put them up on the pre-sales, and also so I know if Ill be successful in safely removing the animals. My question is, what are some options of housing the anemones for two weeks to keep them healthy and to keep them from simply reattaching to my live rock. Would keeping them in the temporary tank for two weeks, with poor lighting options, be too stressful for too long? Or would some kind of container floating in the MT be a better option?
Thanks!
