Couple days ago I received Maxima clam from Divers Dan. Today I noticed that there are two small aiptasias attached to the shell. They are very close to mantle. Don’t know what to do. Can I use lemon juice or kalkwasser? Is there some kind of dip solution? Please help. I don’t want aiptasia to spread and don’t want to hurt/damage my new clam.
TIA.

I get Aiptasia on my Squamosa shell now and again. I shoot them with Aiptasia X. It is by far the best stuff for Aiptasia

Take the clam out of the water and scrub like hell with a toothbrush.

Thank you all for the suggestions. Looks like I was able to "dissolve" them with couple of drops of kalk mix. It's been two days and aiptasias are not showing up :).
