No don't pull it out lol. There's a product I use called aiptaisia x it's a liquid and you use a syringe to inject the liquid into the mouth of the aiptaisia.

 

[maidia]

Take the whole rock out and cook it..Can't full that out, not easy and it will spread out all over the tank..

 

[madjoe]

Just pull rock out and super glue it .
