Myrmecophila crisis! Emergency de-flesk advice!

[kbdsyd]

Hello all.
My first post, so a little background detail.
I will admit straight up front that I am a newbie to orchid collecting and care, but, having been smitten, am now obsessed with the little devils
Thus, jumping in the deep end, I have been buying them left- right-and-center to the extent that I (perhaps foolishly) decided on some exotics from Costa Rica.
I won't bore you with the sordidly dull details of my introduction to the world of quarantine seizures and battles with (Australian) bureaucracy for their release; however having successfully acquired my flasks and survived the arrogance of bureacracy, I now find that the very two orchids I longed for are looking very sick indeed.
I was going to deal with the de-flasking down the track when I had read up more on the topic and felt confident on approaching the episode, however, my hand has been forced.
Can anybody please advise how I might deflask the sick orchids in a way that may allow them to survive?
One of the myrm's has a translucent glossy green look to it; the other a few bedraggled leaves, but appearing worse for wear.
Any help advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
