I have access to medical gloves too...definately a NO NO! Due to the powders and stuff they use for them. My husband was stung on his wrist...not a nice sting either...scabbed up now! We learned our lesson and are purchasing a set of reef gloves to protect ourselves better. We have 3 tanks so are in them often.....

We used a bucket and drip method...worked well except that our cap is hard to get off so from cap into tank he slid it into his hands (which were covered) and into tank...and got stung that quickly. Sticky? YEP!

Ours we placed on the sand bed. Moved him with bagged hands and a turkey baster...stuck like glue to the turkey baster too! He has stayed in the sand but also wedged between some rocks....he has had a disaster with a powerhead so he hasn't stuck completely to the floor of the tank due to a bit of trauma. Be careful if you have any power heads...cover them with the round foamy things you can buy to put over the screens...ours are Maxijet 1200's. Was a disaster but averted (sp?) quickly. It took him several hours to remove from the powerhead but we let him do it...no pulling etc. Tense day! Sounds like your 20g has PLENTY of light!

True perc's are nice! They should be quite safe with yours. Saddlebacks are a bit of a hit and miss from what we are being told as to how busy they are in the anemone and whether or not they are not too abusive. I look forward to seeing pics of yours and how its doing!
