Suck them out with that turkey baster....lol.. seriously though, knock them loose with the baster without popping them then suck them up.

pop 'em like zits. :x

 

 

no, don't. i'm jk. rock them back and forth to loosen them up and then pull them out. manually or with tongs/hemostats (my fav).

 

if you do pop them, pull it out quickly anyways. all you can hope for is really to limit their presence rather than completely eradicating them ime. even with the occasional emerald that eats them. butterflys are better but not exactly coral-friendly. hth

Thanx for all the replies people. Ill try that when I get back on my lunch break.

Thanks again.

The emerald crab idea is good, but my buddy also had one of those crabs kill his perc clown; so I'll just try picking them out by hand.

Emerald crabs are very different from crab to crab. Some are helpers, others are cold blooded killers. I think I'll manually do it and save time and pain of chances with a crab.
