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!

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
