How do you accomplish this in a 60g tank without killing everything else

Sorry, I am just appalled...to me, who cultures corals for a living...it is like you just asked the best way to flush 30 - 100 bucks down the toilet...while suggesting killing animals in the process.

Why is there any need for being "appalled". He asked a question about how to control these mushrooms. There is no need for this. Why don't you offer to go to his house and help remove them for free. And you can make that 100 bucks.
As for me, OP, I would cut them back with a knife until they stop coming back.
Good luck

I explained why I was appalled, lol...not sure where the confusion is? If Miami was feasible for me to travel to for $100 in shrooms, I certainly would...but being I am in NC, probably not. 
As it is, if I thought they would survive a shipment directly after being cut I would probably be begging the OP to do this at my expense instead of killing them with boiling water, or cutting and tossing them.
I don't think you actually want me to digress into more details about why just killing them bothers me...so I will stop there.

I guess the confusion is why you need to put you are appalled at someone else's question regarding his reef and something he wants to remove.
To suggest that others question their thinking. If we all act like it is totally cool to kill animals that in most cases were imported from already declining reefs...then most others will, too. Perhaps if even one person stands up and says "Hey, that sounds like of wrong..." then others will start to see it from that perspective, as well. I would also be sad if someone adopted a dog, decided it wasn't to their liking and did not fit in their home well, and so had it put to sleep. To me...this is the same. I understand that corals don't have a "face" and therefore do not illicit the "aww" response that a dog will from most people...but they are alive, they are animals, and I believe they should be treated with more respect than this. If it WAS a dog in question, and not THIS particular animal that you have less respect for...would you understand my feelings and speaking up then? Why is a dig different than a fish, or a coral? Because it is a mammal? Is it okay to order a lizard that doesn't go well with the others in your terrarium, then euthanize it rather than find it another home?
Just some thoughts for you.
