No problem, ill sell you one cheap 
Thats the video I found after someone else mentioned it. Costs under $5 to make and I still have plenty of sponges left.
I used Schedule 40 pipe because I could not get a piece of Schedule 80 and I had it. What I did was used the pipe to make a circle in the sponge (Did not push all the way through), then cut with a scissors to not break the sponge (Like the guy did in the video)
Pretty simple to then use elastics to attach it to the rocks.
Ill report back once he moves.

ok so quick feedback. I have now caught 3 with this. Love it. But you need to be persistent. I had the last one that was a small anemone that refused to come out. It took several days. I was going to move the cannon to another one and I looked today and there he was right at the end. So they are tough little buggers, but they eventually give in. Working on number 4 now. only a few more to go.

What’s the purpose of the PVC pipe for I’m curious

I’m pretty sure so the anemone travels up the PVC reaching for more light

Wow that’s awesome and brilliant idea
