We are having to move all of our fish to a bigger aquarium. How do we move our anemone without putting any of the old water into the new water? The old tank's water has got a bad Cryptocaryon infestation.

Hi, I have never kept salt water fish, but I think the principle of the drip acclimation method still applies. Put the fish or anemone into a bucket with a shallow amount of the original water. After a long period of time(an hour or so), slowly drip the new water into the old water until the mixture in nearly all new water. When you are finished simply dip or net out the fish and place it in the aquarium with new water. As achintya said, this will dilute the old water so that little if any of it will get into your new tank. I would love to see photos when you are finished!
