you could try a 4-litre pail for the slow drip, that you can lower into your tank enough to get the animal out and onto the sand.
I have not seen it in person. It's rudy's in the buy/sell forum. That's where I am getting it. Do you know of a place in town I could buy some good sturdy gloves to handle this beast?

Lethal? Lethal to myself, or the fish??? haha..

I have 2g buckets, they are deep not shallow that I was planning on using for the drip. I suppose I could do the drip, then grab a stick or some tongs and just slide him into the water, let him float to the bottom and position him with sticks/tongs or some object..Would it be horrible if the anemone was exposed to air for a minute or two?? If I am dripping, and then I go to dump him in, I am still going to get some of his tank water in my tank. So I figure I'll need to drip, then dump all the water out, and then just slide the anemone in?? I need to think of what to use and how to do this effectively.

Thanks for your help AJ.
