I am in the middle of acclimating my new starfish. He is sticking to the side of the bucket... How do I get him out of the bucket I'm acclimating him in to put him in the tank without hurting it?
I also have snails in the same bucket, how to I get them out if they're sticking too??
Please help!

Agreed, and the same will more than likely apply for the starfish as well.

Thank you... it came loose much easier than i expected. They have been in the aquarium for about three hours now and everything is crawling (or sliming) around just fine.
It's an orange linkia starfish, by the way.
