How do you get abalone off a pail?

[FuEl]

Managed to catch out my abalone last night while it was on a rock. Removed the rock from it while it was roaming around in the pail. And now its stuck at the corner of the pail. How to I remove it without stressing it too much? I need to get it into a plastic bag by this evening..

Empty the pail so there's a little water left. Tilt the pail then the abalone will slowly move towards the water, repeat this until you get it out

Ok..will try it...man..abalones are darn frustrating to remove. I wonder how the people collect them in the first place.

Whoa! Didn't know Abalone can swim so fast! Thanks, FuEl.

How's the Nudis? Actually, they reproduce quite fast. Noticed something just now. I caught a small brown Mantis Shrimp and dumped him into the 1 footer together with the rest of the Nudis and you know what! The Mantis Shrimp ate a couple of Nudis. You may want to keep a couple of Mantis Shrimps to control the Nudis population!
