Rediculous just won't DIE

[moosehead]

Ok i've injected with viniger still they don't die,injected with boiling water...nope still nothing, the mushrooms in my tank got to be the hardiest things ever! Please anyone with another trick I would love to hear it, apatsia X do I inject the mushrooms with it? I don't want to kill them all at once as that would crash my tank as I have around +300 I bet .

LOL actually it's kind of funny, there are so many people that can't grow them and look at the problem you're having. You can't kill them :hammer:

Try to smother them with kalk paste. That seems to be MUCH more caustic than vinegar or aiptasia x. I've used kalk paste to control nuisance zoa growth and kill aiptasia. I imagine it would work on mushrooms. Or you could remove the rocks they are on piece by piece, bleach soak them then rinse them in rodi really well and reintroduce to the tank over time. or if you have bone cutters and can get to them just break off bits of the rock where they're attached to. You can also use a razor blade and slice them off at the foot one by one and net them. Know they'll grow back if you leave them but you can put a dab of super glue and epoxy over the spot where the foot is still attached. There's a way to get them out if you try hard enough. How about a pic of this infestation?

They are everywhere. That's a full on infestation. I rather like the red and blue rock. I'd isolate it and leave it personally. The rest...id start trying to cut under them with bone cutters. Kind of break off little bits of rock under them to avoid leaving a piece of the foot. Do as many as you can in one sitting. With diligence you'll get them all. Or at least enough of them

Gonna give it a go hope i can get them. Maybe il find someone that wants to trade rock..my pain there gain

 

[Dkuhlmann]

I would buy that rock from you with the blue and red ones on it!

I'd even take the small red/blue rock on the left side of your tank

Is that a green torch above the blue and red mushroom rock? If so, move it by the mushrooms. My torch killed every mushroom it was able to reach and touch as it moved in the current. For that matter, my torch has stung everything it touches, even other euphyllias (hammer and frogspawn):facepalm:

 

[Dkuhlmann]

Yes, a torch is good for that.

 

[Bpb]

+1. My torch killed a lovely little Florida ricordea colony I had going. Worse comes to worst, buy enough torches to kill off all the shrooms, sell the torches lol

 

[moosehead]

Perfect I'l move him around see what damage he can do !

 

[moosehead]

Actually there about 20 mushrooms around him and there sucked right in, But not dead. They do look very unhappy

The big one is the only one i'd keep cause the wife likes it but the other small blue and red i'd sell for sure .There the only ones i like the others are acually very nice but just to invasive for me.

Trying to add more pics but seem to be having problems

 

[moosehead]

Keeps saying failed upload maybe the size is to big?

 

[moosehead]

Sorry for the phone pics. These are the only ones i could get to upload for some reason.

 

[moosehead]

If i take my rock out and put in a seperate tank do hypo salinity, will it kill all the mushrooms but not the benificial bacteria?

PM me if you would like to get rid of the smaller rock. I don't blame you for keeping the big one, it's a great rock! :beer:
