Pocillipora on my clam shell

[Medical_Reef]

Hello! I am resetting my parent’s tank due to pocillipora spreading itself all over the place, and while I have been fragging out corals I want to keep, I discovered my clam has some pocillipora growing on it. Any advice on the safest way to remove the pest sps?

Thank you!

First would try a Scalpel with a new blade should take it off. My fragging tool set came with one. Scalpels use 420 steel as opposed to xacto knife blades that dont have the same strength. Also would be able to do this in its spot. Would use your other hand to keep the clam in place if needed.

Take the clam out, use a toothbrush to brush the coral, then cover it with some epoxy

Try a fresh water scrub. Should kill the Poci.

Pay for shipping and I’ll give it to you for free. Mine is out of control, pulling all the rock out and restarting the whole tank cause it’s everywhere.

I’ve heard different times that keeping the clam underwater as much as possible is best for it, trying to avoid air exposure.

+1 epoxy

Just kneed up a small ball and smother the coral. This can be done underwater and should only take a few minutes to do.
