Yeah I can see that not hurting anything as long as your not washing the flesh. But in this guys case it seems unpreventable judging by the location of the aptasia.

Sorry to hear about that thoough. I would definitely try the scalpel, or even a suringe with boiling water or mag jammed right into the stem.
