Greetings.
I created a multi-level containment tank in my new base. Rather exciting as I had quite a few unidentified eggs.
I put in four and rather to my surprise; they hatched into a Bone Shark, Crash Fish, Sand Shark and Stalker. Oh well, I thought, it won't be the cute fauna, now I must find a Leviathan egg.
Careful to only look for eggs which didn't match what I had so they wouldn't breed out of control, I came across an egg which looked like a Stalker egg but was unidentified. Since I could see that I was able to identify eggs from the species I had hatched I concluded, I must be something similar and into the tank it went.
A few expeditions later, I came to take a look.
The four (or five, I should have counted) layer tank was FULL of Stalkers!
Not what I had intended at all. Looking for the positive, I wondered if this might mean I no longer needed to seek out Stalker's teeth. Alas, my Stalkers apparently live the good life and keep hold of their teeth.
So then I decided I had to get them out of there.
I SPENT THE NEXT HOUR carefully removing them and taking them to a Kelp Biome far enough away from my base that they wouldn't interfere with the local fauna.
Each time I returned for more there were about nine new eggs waiting, hence the time it took.
As I released them, they smiled and thanked me with umm, a loving nip. I laughed and rebuked them, telling them I could have released them into a thermal vent! They laughed too and proceeded to try to dismember me. Interestingly, other predators I have released such as a Bone shark had no interest in thanking me in such a manner.
I must warn future travellers, however, that there is now a Kelp Forest hole and its caves which nobody without an Exosuit would wish to explore.

The tank is back to how it was intended, however.
Cheers.

Pity they don't remain friendly to you after you release them - though then it might get a bit confusing if there's a native one in the area... ^^;
Unless they FIGHT EACH OTHER. Player-bred monsters vs Native monsters.
Um, why didn't you just make a couple lockers and fill it with Stalkers? Empties the tank right out.
Then you can deconstruct the lockers, or bioreactor...
*gasps* I see you live up to your name! I didn't want to be reported to PETP, People for the Ethical Treatment of Pixels, of course!
Cheers.
