His tank params were pretty close to mine so I did a short drip (replaced most of his water) then slowly dropped the bucket into my tank and pulled out the clam. Just put the bucket in slow so the displaced water can go through the overflow to the sump and not to the floor.
That is pretty much exactly how I move my clams. Although I use an ice cream bucket to go from the tank to the big bucket.
