Way too many shrooms!

[mef_rn98]

I realize this question has been asked (many times) before, but I'm not finding the answer I need. I have way too many shrooms in my 90g tank, to the point that they are starting to sting some of my other corals. Kalk paste just seems to annoy them slightly and then they come back with a vengeance. I have read the suggestions for taking the rocks out and scrubbing them, but unfortunately, most of the rocks are not ones I can take out to scrub, either due to placement (I'd have to take the whole tank apart) or due to other corals attached to the rocks. I live in Laramie, Wyoming (the state has more antelope than people), so there's not really a strong reefing community around so that I could try to sell/trade them locally, and I'm not sure that trying to sell and ship them anywhere would be worth the trouble. So considering all that, does anyone have any other suggestions for thinning/eliminating these things that are now growing like weeds in my tank? They've basically killed one of my milli's that had finally started to grow, and they're starting to get to some of my duncans. Should we try to scrape them off (exacto knife, maybe?) and then kalk paste the rock where they were? Any other suggestions/ideas/experience would be most welcome!!

If you try cutting them off the rock.
Getting a piece of rock attached to the FOOT and not leaving " Flesh " behind will help prevent the Shroom from coming back.
I have been able to do this with a Razor Blade and a lot of patients.
It is time consuming, but it works.

Something I've just started playing with is moving my frogspawn near anything I want to nuke. So far it's taken out a large chunk of zoas and a hitchiker yuma that seemed to be indestructable.

edit:Aqua putty works pretty good too. Put it over the sroom, wait a week or two until it's gone and remove the putty

you can also cut them off and superglue the remaining flesh. This has worked for me before but I do not have plague proportions of them.

You could inject them with joes juice, just like you would kill aiptasia

I have the same problem. I tried Joes Juice on mine and it didn't kill them.

i never understood how any coral reaches plague proportions in an aquarium! I'm slowly getting hooked on zoas and shrooms and I don't think I could have too many. And even if I did, I would never try to kill them! there's a billion new homes for them, cut and superglue over them, anything but kill!!!

If you dose the b-ionic stuff you can try injecting the mushrooms with the alkalinity part. Inject them, wait 15 min, and then siphon out. It worked for me.
