Rare handfish population returned to wild

Rare handfish population returned to wild after riding out marine heatwave in tank.
They've been gently coaxed out of the plastic bag and into the big, bad underwater world where they are exposed to the elements. Now, researchers have big hopes this small group of red handfish will not only survive, but thrive — the species is depending on it.
I was trying to remember where I'd read about the handfish, but of course. This place is handfish central.
