Yeah this is a great idea. When I went to catch my little Undulated trigger a while back, I couldn't find him anywhere, so I took some rock out of the tank. Still couldn't find him. When I started to put the rock back in the tank I found him lodged in one of the rocks that had been out of water for a few minutes.
Once they lock their triggers in place, they really don't like to let go.
