Need Help! How to get aptasia off rock fast!

[hefner413]

Hey peeps. I just got a great deal on a huge BTA. it is on a huge rock but the rock has a bit of aptasia on it. What should I do? I definitely don't want any aptasia in my 180. That is for sure.
btw - the rock and BTA are still in the container that I got them in - a small styrofoam box.

I have read that you can inject boiling water into it, and it seems like you have it where you can get to it..LOL

I've injected lime juice and it seemed to work, but when you stress them sometimes they release larvae, so down the road you may find another. I just hope my peppermint shrimp are ready if they do appear

Well, I think I took care of it. I just got a screwdriver and a hammer and chipped off all the rock with aptasia. I seem to have got them all!
