Default Majano removal question?

I got a couple of corals from a guy which came on a rock that also has a 3" maxima clam attached. However, it has a few majanos on it (like 40!!). What is the best way to remove these, assuming I can get the clam off the rock? I'd hate to have to toss a perfectly good clam.

How bout a toothbrush and pail of water. I would try it then dip clam in clean water after to remove any "spores" from cleaning it

Thought about that, but I recall years ago trying to remove xenia that way, never worked Maybe scrape the shell area with an exacto blade?

I had great luck with a needle and boiled vinegar though 40 is quite a bit

Place empty clam or oyster shells on top of the nem, they will climb on top to get to the light. Toss out the shell.

with 40 of them? Pretty sure the clam would crawl out of it's shell to get that same light
