Mold on Wooden Log!

[AuntieEm_]

I was just doing some daily maintenance of my crabitat when I noticed a bit of mold on the side of the wooden log my crabbies like to hide in!
(picture below)

Is there any way to effectively remove the mold from the wood or does it need to be thrown away? I hate to throw it out if it isn't necessary, since my crabbies love it so much.

I'm going to a Pet Expo this weekend, though, so I can always get some new replacement goodies then

You can soak it in salt water and let it air dry if you want.

It usually does. The mold isn't harmful to the crabs, at any rate.

When you say soak in salt water, is it table salt?

It should be pure salt, so kosher or sea salt for eating is okay as long as there are no additives. Instant ocean is also good, but more expensive.
