Chris, I ended up getting the multi-colored leopard that was in the Zoa-coral tank at RP, it's been there probably a month at least.

Jim, I don't have any predators, and most of my rock was dry, that LR that I got was all from RP so I'm pretty sure nothing bad came in on that that I've not seen in the tank. I might try using two buckets, as well with a net. I trust all the water at RP, so I might be willing to try floating and cutting as well. Clearly what I'm doing is at least stressing the fish to some degree.
