I recently bought some "Joe's Juice" from the LFS. it just dissolves away. It doesn't effect other softies. I would recommend a syringe to inject.

Peppermint Shrimp are also a good way to rid these guys. I've had really good luck with peppermint shrimp, however, some people don't have such good luck. There are also a number of products you can use, including making your own like kalkwasser. Do a search in the forums to find a number of methods to eliminate them.
