If the clam is already attached to a rock you may not be able to take it out unless it's on a clam hammock.

It’s not alive. It’s real but it died before I got it as a decoration. My clown fish use it as a home mostly

Yeah, just take it out and hit it with lemon juice or even bleach if your rinse it well enough.

X same but F version creates a coat which stays more put.
Both work, both safe.
glue, puddy, Aptasia X, F, all easier when piece can be removed.
They can be completely removed outside the DT with a small flathead screwdriver, just dig the little brown spot where he shrinks to, right off, brush and rinse.

Not sure about actual formulas, but F seems to get better reviews. I used it on an aptasia and it was easy to use and it nuked it on the first try.

kalkwasser paste works for me but some of these buggers come out in the worst spots and are kinda impossible to get to. Need to find a way to apply either kalkwasser paste or aptaisia x or whatever in hard to reach spots.

I just got a peppermint today to see if it'll eat them.

Just put lemon juice on it and rinse it in saltwater or RO before putting it back?

Lemon juice will make the aptaisia melt.
Take a small brush(toothbrush) to clean the shell free of any debris. Rinse and back in the tank.
