A good easy way is to direct flow directly at it..This should eventually un-nerve the nem, make it un-happy with its location and then start to move..That is then your time to move it yourself when its mobile..

Rubbing ice on the foot some times works as does a credit card or even taking a chisel and scraping the liverock below the foot being careful not to hurt the foot to pry a portion of the foot off the rock so you can slowly peel its foot off. I was lucky enough to attend a presentation held by Anthony Calfo last weekend and watched how to clone an anemone by cutting it and he used the chisel method. I cant wait to clone my first nem, lil nervous tho its a dinner plate sized bta and I certainly dont want to make any mistakes and loose it...
