Can you just drain the tank and pick them out? I got almost all my fish like that in a 180...

I wouldnt use paraguard in the dt even if they call it "reef safe". Thats risky business, and I am not talking about Tom Cruise either.

Draining the tank isn't really an option. I've got 5 Crocea's that are attached and happy where they are. Draining the tank could leave them out of water for 20-30mins while I catch the fish and then re-fill the tank.

Which is fine. Turn the light out, no worries. The clams especially will be fine, they fill with water and close up, and are then self contained.
however, I drained my 180, caught all the fish, and filled it again in about 20 minutes. I'm assuming you have a 29g biocube? That should take about 10 minutes, which is fine for anything to be out of water.

This might be my project instead of doing a regular WC in a few days.

Thanks for the advice!
