Bad anemone problem

I bought a pipe blastomussa about 6 months ago. Everything was going well until I started to see a different kind of tentacle poking out a couple of weeks ago. Now all the blastos are dead that are surrounding the anemone. I have tried to suck it out with a turkey bayster, but to no avail. His foot is burrowed pretty deep between the pipes. I was wondering if there is a way to lure it out, without destroying the blastos around it. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Not sure what type they are still pretty tiny. All I know is that the blastos surrounding the anemones are dying.
 
If you can pull the rock out of the water, drip kalkwasser on it (or just rub Ca(OH)2 on it). That will take care of it. If you can get a hypodermic needle and inject the calcium hydroxide into it, it will help minimize overspill.
 
Will that hurt the blastos if it gets on them? Can I inject it while it's in the water? Sorry for all the noobish questions. :>
