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.

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

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

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?
