Don't know if this technique will work for you, but it did for me. I dechlorinated the fw dipping water first and made sure temp was similar to the tank water. A few seconds in fw should not adversely affect the live rock or zoas.

I may try this when I get home today. Good news is most of my colonies are on two rocks, bad news is there are a few other things on the one rock that may not like the bath.

I have two smaller gbta's on one side of said rock as well as a xenia(sp). Would these be affected? Need be I can attempt to remove the anemones but I never tried relocating a xenia?
