How to get mushrooms off rocks?

[scubakid3]

I have some nice discosoma i got the other day but one has attached onto a rock and blocking my bright blue and yellow florida ric. Any good ways to get this guy off?

A razor blade ..Slice it off at the base

I tried that with a nice ricordia I wanted to move but not that big rock it's attached to so I tried using an exacto knife to cut off at the base but when you start touching it it shrivels up real tight and makes it really difficult, I sorta got it off but it didn't make it

discosoma and ricordia are 2 different beast also unless you get the whole discosoma off, it will more than likely grow back. but for the most part the razor is your best bet.
Razor don't work well with cutting ricordia at the base.

And by the way, I love mushrooms

Got the whole thing off alive.

Sometimes the razor doesn't CUT it for me...haha. I am talking about the angles....putting my arm in the tank to my shoulders, so I use a knife.

You can also cut into the rock a bit. Helps to have some rubble attached. Easier to trade or sell since they are not loose and fly off everywhere. Some people are into softie tanks. Always looking for shrooms.

Water pic? (the thing you use to clean your teeth), never tried it but I have used one to clean the rocks in my tank

Seems like the only way I can remove/move one is to break off the rock it is attached to. No matter what it seems pieces get around and more pop up. Tough to control sometimes.
