Okay so I’m moving my 20g tank tomorrow afternoon after work. I have everything planned but totally forgot about a few corals I have attached to rocks that I don’t think I’ll get off.

First off I have 3 rock nems that are attached to the rock on the sand line. Will these guys be fine out of water for 30mins or so?

Secondly I have a blasto frag glued to my rock that will also be out of water for 30 min will he be okay or should I do my best to get him off the rockwork (not sure it’s possible)?

I also have some monti left on my rock and I know it will be fine out of water.

Rock will be left out of water (not ideal but what has to be done) but in a plastic bin that I can mist with saltwater every couple of minutes. Also I have 8 gallons of new water that I plan to mix with 8 gallons of old water. Corals in one bucket fish in another bucket. Tank will get a nice scrub down when empty and I will be replacing some of the equipment while I have the room as well.

Below is a pic with corals in question circled In white.
