Got lots of them in my pond,matter a fact that's about all that is in it.

Need to take some out,how do you clean them ,do you leave the base attached to the shell or cut it loose /clean it and then re attach,then what after you get it cleaned, how do you dry it out,in salt or just let it dry in the sun

?? I would like to do some just don't know what to after I catch them
