I don't have any calcium to inject them with. The best I can do is take their host rock out and boil it.

If you have a clean needle and some concentrated lemon juice you can inject them and take them out that way Or Kalk paste through a bigger syringe or turkey baster very gently.

Get a pepermint shrimp, if you have alot of them then get a few pepermints. Natural deffences are the best.

If there is only a few just clip off that piece of the rock.. It's better if you don't even mess with them! If you make them mad they will come back a vengeance!
