Is there an easy way to remove these? I tried directing a powerhead at one and pulling it off but it closed up so I couldn't get ahold of it. I'd like to remove them rather than kalk them....

They are extreamly difficult to remove. I would just kalk the unwanted ones.

Here is an idea for you that I have had work for me. Place a long object near the foot of the anemone like some hard airline tubing or something. Then place a bright light at the other end of the tubing. You may have to do this at night. I am sure you will have to jury rig this idea with whatever you have at hand ( bright flashlight and a straw angled towards it or whatever) The point is that anemones walk towards light and if you make it easy enough to get on your tube then he may walk onto so that he can be, dun dun duuuun - KILLED! Have fun you Psychotic anemone murderers. Hey by the way this is my completly original idea never heard or read it anywhere, cool huh! Cool if it works for you that is.

Kalking...Mix up some Kalkwaser paste. Then put a little bit in the anemone's mouth...Yum Yum, but deadly.
I'll bet Joe's Juice will work too.
