Sorry...didn't see the second part of the question. If you have kalkwasser you could make a paste with that and your water and put it on the pest anemone. The paste should be fairly thick and you can use it sparingly. It goes a long way!

You can also inject it with lemon juice or boiling water.

Lemon juice would work? and boiling water amy not kill it completely i have even tried shooting concentrated salt water at it

 

[shifty51008]

Yes lemon juice works very well, just take a syringe and inject it into the anemone it it will melt it. Kalk paste is just made using kalk powder or pickling powder, the same stuff you buy for canning veggies.

Lemon juice is acidic, hence why it's effective. Supposedly. (I have never tried it myself).
