Take the pipe out and run under hotwater , it should release... If not use a toothbrush to remove!

Are you sure that is an anemone??

BTW if it is, using a tooth brush to remove may promote more new ones. In the case of Aiptasia sp. every bit of tissue left in your system may regenerate into another anemone. Using something like a toothbrush could shred one anemone into many many more future anemones.

It's an orange ball anemone which is not really an anemone at all but is a corrallimorph, belonging to the mushroom family

very true , i find them a nice addition and they take up all the dark spots that are hard to fill anyways

they are quite sticky and will accept large meaty foods and everything in between
