I use a long piece of that stiff, clear plastic tubing they sell at LFS's. I think it's quater inch but it might be 3 eighths inch. I hold my finger over the dry end and lower it over the nudi, let off my finger, causing a suction in the tube. The nudi gets sucked up the tube, then I put my finger back over the tube and lift the nudi out. Then I experiment on him.
I do it this way so I am not removing a lot of water for a single nudi.
