It's kinda gross and takes a while, but I just put it outside in a safe place and let the flies and ants take care of it... It could smell terrible (mine did), so make sure it's away from people. And make sure its somewhere where people won't take it if it's a cool looking shell.
After a few days I took it back to the ocean and washed it out... seems to have worked!
