Snail removal

[K7BMG]

I have 9 huge Trochus.
Everyone who sees them is like holly blank I have never seen ones this big.
I want to move half to my new tank.
Literally I pull them off what ever rock or glass they might be on.
I dont want to hurt or kill them.

I was thinking I would get a credit card and try to slide it under the foot.
Or just put in a piece of acrylic and keep an eye on it and when they get on it pull it out.
I was hoping to do the batch as this way would be several acclimations on individuals.
Or is there some type of food or bait that can attract them to the plate?

Suggestions please.

You could try a small tupperware container with some algae sheets and wait for them to climb in
