Bad luck for me

[fishissues]

first i went to a frag swap found a big rock with a couple shrooms on it for 20 bucks so i buy it i go home its been in my aquarium for a month or so and the bad luck is...
1)The rock had aiptasias all over it

2)it has a couple flatworms on it

3)the shrooms will not frag off of it

1)remove the aip. try gently squirting kalk into the mouth without touching it with the needle
2) Flat worm Exit by salifert. check out the instructions carefully, and read up on Melevs Reef. i just did the treatment last night.
3)give them time.

Put those rocks in QT. It will be easier to do there. You should always QT anything that goes in your tank. For two months. But now that its there:
I hade a few of these and some corn anemonees too. I used Kalkwasser powder mixed with water. I used the plastic measurer (it is used to measure .5ml water) that came with one of the test kits. Put it right up to its mouth and slowly squirt out the kalk. It closes up around the tip and bingo! I've got ya. Keep going till its empty.
Now be warned doing this in the tank can get calk everywhere. IT tends to float around. Here is some tips:
1. Shut off the flow. LAst thing ypu need is water flow pushing the kalk over to your candycane coral.
2. Be ready with airline tubing. I create a syphin with the tubing to suckup the peices of kalk that float away. This can take awhile. It does make a mess.
3. Be ready with some fresh salt water to replace the water you syphon off.
4. rinse-repeat. If you got them you will get them again. Thats why they are the pest that they are. Have fun - You didn't think that keeping a salt water tank was going to be easy!
