have you ever tried to make a cave of sponge with several holes to help remove multiple nem's which have covered a large rock. When I moved from previous location, had 6 to 8 nem's now they reproduce every full moon. have one Large rock which may have 70 to 100+ rbts. have given away 65 to 75 already. few months later hAD ALL BEEN replaced. finally getting sticks/acros to grow....need space. $ager to try!
As long as they have to go through the cannon.

A great thanks to Steve for coming up with the neme cannon!

One of my anemones had infiltrated an area that I didn't want him in. And his foot was deep in a crevice, so I couldn't reach it. Aimed a power head at him for several days, but that didn't work. Then I tried the neme cannon, and within 24 hours the anemone had climbed up to the top of the pipe!

See pics for side view and top view.

Haha worked for me too. I have since learned anenomes aren’t as fragile as I thought after cutting 20 colorados and prying them quickly with my hands
