How to move an anemone?

How do I get my 12" anemone out of my tank? It's positioned itself under my main "pile" of rocks in about 6" of sand and he's attached to the glass at the bottom of the tank. When I touch him he just disappears under the sand (fast!).
Anyone ever tried to move an anemone that is attached to the bottom?

Now I need some good moving tips! The darn thing hasn't moved since I first posted him for sale! I don't think he wants to go!

sweet! Brandon moved his carpet (when I bought him) by digging up the sand around the foot, and using an ice-cube to make it release from the glass. YMMV of course.

It takes forever, but they will let go with an icecube on their foot.

I know Xster has used the ice trick several times and it has worked.....just take it slow and be gentle....
