How to get a flower nem out of PVC piping

[Dodgerdave]

Hi All!
I just purchased a green flower nem that's in a piece of PVC piping. Anyone have any idea how I can get the nem out so I can place on my rock work?
I've currently just put the nem/PVC piping in the sandbed near the rock work hoping it will come out and move onto the rockscape.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I just put a little glue at the bottom of the pvc pipe and attach to the rock. It will be easier when you want to move the nem to some where else. You don't need to remove the nem.
Hope this helps.

Would be the best thing to keep it on the pvc keep an eye on your fish lol

If you really want it out. Set it next to the rock you want it on in the sand. So the tentacle can touch the rock. It'll move if it wants.

+1 I bought 2 from Miguel, the first one came out the PVC within minutes. The 2nd one took a while longer, around 2months. I did the same, just leaned them on a rock and let them do their thing!! They tend to move like regular nems from where you place them

I bought some a few months ago and they are STILL in the PVC end caps. lol. Not too bad for me since I'm thinking of upgrading in a few months but for you...

i would keep it in the PVC... last thing you want is a nem runing around stinging crap in your tank...
