Removing mushrooms from live rock

[ellebelle]

If you can remove any of the rocks, you could take them out, slice them with a razor blade, then kalk the stems, and then use a screw driver to gouge that place in the rock. It is time and labor intenstive, but SHOULD get rid of the buggers.

As a side note, I am currently having a similar problem with Anthelia, and that is the route that I have used. Thus far, it SEEMS to be working, though I'm having trouble with the stuff that has rooted to my zoanthid rocks.

shrooms

I've been nbattling the shroom menace for years now. I am now considering just removing all the rock and getting all new rock. obviousely a little at a time. I just spend all of last night taking all the rock out of the right side of my tank scraping the shrooms off. now I have to do the left side of my tank.

I do have a some pieces of rock with shrooms if anyone wants one or two.

I may also just take my rock out of the tank and let it die. then put it back.

I figured out a better method. scraping with frag cutters/ bone cutters down below the coraline. the shroom pops right off and it has no way of growing back, because I left nothing behind
