I made a holding chamber out of egg crate and zap straps that I've used in the past to introduce new fish to the established tank residents. That way they spend a few days getting used to the sight, smell, taste etc. of the new fish and when you release it, hopefully the old fish are no longer so agitated about the newcomer. It was an early method I used for building up my schools of yellow tangs. BTW, if you use zap straps, melt the cut edges so they are smooth, not sharp and same with the egg crate edges.
