How to remove an anemone or sea cucumber from tank

[arcanehacker]

I have a yellow sea cucumber on my tank panel and I want to move it to the LR. The problem is that it seems to have stuck itself really well to the tank panel. . How do you people suggest I do it? I'm afraid of using force coz I might kill it or, worst, stress it.

Same goes to anemones too cos I heard we might tear it and would get infected and die.

use a plastic card, something like credit card to scrap it off the glass panel...

can do it with my ###### hands?

[arcanehacker]

the problem is they are soft. Using hand to pluck them out would hurt them due to squeezing.

slowly gently tap on the edges of the foot and they gently pry them off the glass with your fingernails.

tried that. May be good for anemones but my cucumber is really really sticky.. maybe go try again later..

dont bother moving your anemone cos it gonna move back to that position ... they have a good reason for being there in the first place .... maybe it receives the most light there . as for the cuke itll move it self ...

my cuke has been on the front panel ever since I bought it. Moved only like few mm here and there. Thats why I need to move it.
