I'm feeling sick as I type this. Perhaps someone could answer the
question - how long will a mature and strong Bristlenose last attached to a
damp rock at about 20 deg C out of the water?

Oh no Poor thing. Still, it looks like you've proved he can last 12 hours
(not to be funny, but if he's still alive then you've answered
your own question...)

I just got a Bristlenose and he's the cutest thing, very small though and
not making much inroads into my algae, but slowly we will get there. He's
king of hiding, it's very hard to find him, so don't blame yourself. At
least yours is alive. Lucky you found him.

I would just give him as much peace and quiet as possible, and keep an
eye that he doesn't develop any illness as a result of the stress.

Good luck.
