Hi Jason,

You can use a syringe filled with very hot water or Joes juice. I find the hot water works well.

I second the Joe's Juice, only thing I have found that works well.

so i leave the LR in? i dont have to take it out?
then just inject it with hot water?
do i poke the aptasia right through? or just squirt right above it?

I have found leaving it in is easier because they stay "extended" easier.

If someone has a way of doing it taking it out, I would love to learn how.

Just squirt the hot water directly above it for a few seconds. Use a 10cc syringe. It will shrivel up quickly. Sometimes it may need a second squirt.

where do i buy a syringe?

Pharmacy. Explain to the pharmacist what you are doing, explaining them the entire wacked out reason should lead them to believe you arent a druggie, lol. They should give you a few. Or if you have a sick pet at the vet, ask for some extra syringes.

Another good way is to explain to the pharmacist, is tell them you are trying to give medicine to one of your kids.
