If you have the room, you may like to try what I did.
The nem we got was the same size as yours. I took a clear glass (tumbler), threw some rock rubble in it, added water, nem, and used a rubber band to cover it with plastic mesh.
I placed this in the tank to keep him from wandering in to the overflow or an unprotected powerhead.
I fed him every day or so some baby brine. When he got a little bigger, I moved up to mysis and bits of krill. (The nem is so small he needs to start with small food.)
Once he was big enough, I moved him to the tank he was destined for that had the overflows and Koralia nem-proofed.
I took him out of the glass, foot attached to a piece of rubble, and placed in on the sand next to the rock work where I was hoping he'd go. He moved within a couple of hours and has been in a good spot ever since (knock on wood!).
I think we got the nem in April, and was about the size of a quarter like yours. It's now close to 4" across and hosted by our true percs.
Good luck!
