Took about 20 minutes.
Great "fingering" technique. Did it look happy when it "let go"?

Lol.

Other than getting a bit slimey, it seemed perfectly fine. (In seriousness, I did have to refresh the water).

It probably wasn't too happy that I dropped the rock and ran screaming when an amphipod ran out of the rock onto my hand.

If there's someone in the Greater Vancouver area who's interested, PM me.
