This morning I noticed a small aptasia on the trunk of my toadstool. What is the best way to remove it without damaging the toadstool coral?

Pic?

toadstools are pretty hardy, I'm not sure I would worry about getting a little of any of the aiptasia removal products on it... .But safest is probably lemon juice.

As with all treatments, turn off all flow for 15-20m.

Perfect it’s on its own rock so I can pull it out no problem. Wasn’t sure if scraping it would hurt it but I’ll do that. Not home to take a picture but it’s pretty small my phone probably wouldn’t pick it up very well. Thanks guys

Scrape it off, preferably outside the tank. Toadstool will be just fine.

Was able to scrape it off today it came off pretty easy I put it in a cup to see if it would open up so I could snap a pic. Ik it’s small and kind of hard to tell but does this look like aptasia?
