you can you have to tickle the foot & it will release

I've read of increasing the flow in their direction and they will move. They apparently don't like too much flow.

I've used a pancake spatula to gently lift them off the glass. It only works if the foot is on glass though.

What does an anemone tickle stick look like?

Try a paint brush.
It worked for me on a sebae.
The bristles genlty irritate the skin and it SLOWLY peals back.
It's not a fast process.

As I have always said; tickle his bottom and he will get off his butt
