"Wow, they're a bit like amphibians, like as if they asorb oxygen (or their enviroment) through their skin, and other marine animals simpler than that, 'cept that amphibians just get their food from their mouth."

"These are all really good answers but quidditch_chick is exactally right. One would squeeze it; however Nadia is also correct. The extraction of fluid has to be done underwater with a constriction/extraction spell (Thank you, Dracnyzz). The seawater surrounding the Quandury is then collected and it's fluid is seperated from the seawater. Quandury fluid is more viscous than seawater. What I mean is that it's heavier than the surrounding seawater. Once the Quandury fluid and seawater have been collected, the Quandury fluid will settle to the bottom of the container. The seawater is then poured off of the top and put into a seperate flask. You will want to distill this seawater because part of the fluid will mix with the seawater and not seperate out. To distill you simply gradually boil the mixture allowing the seawater to vaporize and escape in the form of steam. You will want to have a distillation tube connected to the flask of seawater so that what little parts of Quandury fluid that are in solution have time to condence and precipitate out of solution.
The resulting solution in the flask will be highly concentrated Quandury fluid. This can be mixed back in with the original fluid or used independently in potions."
