Regular Expressions Change Tags Surrounding Text, Keep Text

Using Dreamweaver Find and Replace...

I have html like this for example... may different words though: 

</a>Fish Anatomy</a>

that I would like to have like this:

Fish Anatomy</a>

I would like to rid my code of the first /a.

I can match all of those by using regexp:

</a>[^"]*</a>

However, I am not succeeding at keeping the Fish Anatomy words and just replacing the first /a

How do I keep the words and replace the tag?

The difficulty with this would arrive if you have multiple of these in a row, and they are not clearly delineated. What you have described could be done with this regex though:

</a>([^<]*</a>)

Then replace with:

$1
