Just leave the pumps off (all of them if you can). The anemone will slowly crawl out, and then once he is out you will want to watch him and make sure his foot is still attached to something before you turn any pumps of. Once partially through a pump is OK, twice is bad news!

If you try to pry him out it will just get worse... its like your kids who put their heads through the stairway rails, they got in, they'll find a way out but may be a little worse for wear

Depending on the health of the anemone, and the level of damage inflicted, most survive just fine. My purple LTA used to do the same thing about every 3 months or so until I got rid of it. Keep in mind if it happened once, it can happen again...

You need to find out why it is roaming and fix the problem.
