My thought was to pull the rock out of the tank and cut the individual pieces of with scissors first and then after that spray it with lemon juice and let it soak in it for a good 20 minutes.

Do you think this will work? And is it safe? What method should I use?
If you can't cleanly take it off the rock and give it away, then used Kalk paste in a syringe. I have used this process for mushrooms that I could not get it, and it got rid of them in one dose.

I dont have a syringe, would cutting them to reveal the inner tissue and then just soaking them in calcium overloaded water work?

All I have is dry calcium from sea chem or baking soda.

Would that work?
