Aim a powerhead at its foot or use an icecube on the foot. It may take some time, so just be patient.

if there small enough , you can nudge there foot off using your thumbnail. I don't try this with larger specimens since this is the only anemone that gets a reaction from me when stung. Bigger fella's I take out with the rock there on, if there on a rock I don't want em on, I do what the cowboyswife recommended, powerhead blasting them till they move.
