Thanks guys!
Drew, I'm letting him rest after acclimating him to normal salinity (since he was in a hypo tank). He looks totally fine, but I'll probably wait until tomorrow and see how he's doing before LFS trip, to make sure he's OK. He's in my biocube for now.
Praveen, LOL. i wish i got smacked around. instead i get pushed down the stairs and stomped on, when she's in a good mood. Luckily I didn't have to actually pull any rock out, but the rock is totally dismantled and shuffled. I'll let the dust and tank stress die down a little before trying to put it all back together.
HOW I DID IT
For anyone who cares, I tied a zip line to a small piece of eggcrate, stuck that on the end of my tank claspers, then kept goosing the shat out of him whenever he went into live rock holes with the long uncut zip line end. After 4 hours of that, he put up a white flag. Almost like he swam freely into the net with this "just get this over with" look on his face.
