--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well went to a lfs and bought a fire fish, a sps frag, and a clam. Didn't look at the clam closely enough to see the lil aisptasia all over it's shell. The SPS frag was in the same tank BTW. Overheard someone mention aisptasia in one of the tanks, but didn't see any in the frag tank because I didn't look close enogh. Anyways while acclimating the clam noticed it had aisptasia on it. So I talked with Paintballer76800 about it, and he said to boil some water and use a turkey baster to squirt hot water onto the aisptasia, but in the mean time be very careful not to get the hot water inside the clam. Did that and hopefuly that'll work, but I couldn't get to some aiptasia because there were too close to the mantle.

So what should I do?
