PAIR FATHEAD (Sunburst Anthias) Tried to Move between TANKS (Backed off) Fish went into SHOCK (Normal?)

Ok. Maybe I'm overeacting but Just want to See if this has happend to anyone.

A year ago a MY Single SunBurst died, since it could never compete fast enough during Feeding Time.

So when I saw a pair of Fatheads ....six months ago, I couldn't pass it up.
But knowing they were slow eaters, I turned my Empty Refuge in Sump into a Cozy, Safe Tank for them.

Today, I thought it time to move them (6 months later), into a Friendly 90 Gallon Tank.

I pulled out the larger Rocks to have a easy and safe Netting.....and then attempted to Net them.
One hid but the other I managed to net.
But It was in Shock when I looked into the Bowl I put him in.
He looked Dead, but a nudge got him moving.

I thought maybe I hit or Crushed him a bit against the rock (But I don't think so).

So I bailed out on the Move an put him back.

Both looked really bad shape, but MAYBE it's just SHOCK, after being so safe and isolated so long.
I google this up and folks have make comments they are Rock Dwelling fish, and very shy (which I know), but this is a bit more than shy.

Anyone have this happen to them?
I am so worried I made a mistake on the Attempted move.

Waiting and Watching, patiently. They both are in their original Refuge.

Never Mind.

I just checked, again. He is swimming around and waiting for me to feed him.

Whew.......
I hate when fish PLAY DEAD.

Ok, they win for now.....No move yet.
