Did you consider using a large tube (6"PVC or larger if you can find it), and use a plunger to suck the fish up into the tube? I know they use this sort of contraption to catch fish in the wild, and I am sure if you look hard enough you can find one somewhere. Not sure if that would work on a Lion fish that large, but just a thought.

He has a 13" fin span... don't think he'll go into a PVC tube.

He's not moved yet... not until this weekend. The tank he's going into is pretty stark white just yet. We put rocks and what not into the 60g so they can get some coralline on them so we can put them in the new tank. You can see a coral skeleton to the left of him that I put in there a couple of weeks ago and you can see it just starting to purple up.
If y'all want purple rock.... just give it to me... LOL.

solid yellow dwarf fuzzys are pretty rare-but they do come in. They are collected from one spot in lembeh, and back in the late 90's cost about 350.00.
Fast forward now a-day, i see them more often than not and they only go a few dollar more than a standard colored fuzzy.
I was fortunate enough to have a few, and their pictures are in the lionfish info article

If you ever see one somewhere that I can arrange a purchase.... please think of me. We are starting to complete our desired collection, as you know, by our more recent purchase. Male or female, I would love to have one.
You think living where I do I would have seen one by now. The only place I've seen one was at the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Maybe not?? Do you have one handy to see if the size would be good? Fit in tank?? Lion fit inside??? You'd have to test it to see if it would hold water, or just break. Was just thinking....no holes for fins to get stuck in...well however you do it, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for ya! Good luck!

Even if we don't do that exactly, I think we'll fashion something from your idea! Thanks!
maybe you could use some kind of cloth instead of plastic. I just invision a sharp fin puncturing the bag and the whole thing ripping open. hmmm. I used a tea pitcher and a small net to coax him into the pitcher. It actually worked but it took me forever.

Sorry. I forgot to make the saltwater. O.O I'm going to do a large post cycle water change tonight, let the tank hang for the night and put him in tomorrow. He have our plan and apparatus.... stay tuned.
He's going to be without lights for a bit. We ran into a big snag and now have to plan for an alternate hanging method.
The RKE has to be returned to the manufacturer for there is something wrong with it.
