Think this is best idea.remove rock and get chisel/ screwdriver or something to chip/ scrape the rock away under where the aiptasia is so aiptasia still in one piece and wont release anything so more spreadTake rock out, chisel off a chunk where it's attached trying not to disturb the aiptaisia itself and try to get it off in one piece.
Done it, and broke a bit more then I was hoping to break. Can I still use this piece of rock after making like a week of sitting out of water ?, I was thinking like a gsp island.Take rock out, chisel off a chunk where it's attached trying not to disturb the aiptaisia itself and try to get it off in one piece.
I don't think just sitting outside of water for a week will kill it honestly. They are super resilient. Take some more extreme measures now that it's out of the tank. Super Glue, boiling water, etc. If it were me, I'd pour some boiling water over it a few times to melt the aptasia, then let it sit out for a couple weeks, then you could put it back in the tankDone it, and broke a bit more then I was hoping to break.

Okay, I'm going to run it under hot water few times and I'll put it back in like a month. Hopefully that works.

...yeah, that'll do the trick! I'll have to remember that one. We have one of those cooking blowtorches. Probably not the best method on, say, a frag plug with a coral on it, but that seems darned effective anywhere well away from desirable flesh.Since the rock has no corals and can be removed, make note of where the aiptasia is and blow torch the spot for 15 seconds. Done.
I used one of these butane babies. Nice pointy hot flame for targeting....yeah, that'll do the trick! I'll have to remember that one. We have one of those cooking blowtorches.
