What Coral Will Kill Mushrooms?

[Empty Bottles]

Will a bubble coral be able to kill off encroaching actinodiscus mushrooms? If not what will. I want to keep those little buggers in their corner.

I would think so. A Favia or war coral would be my pick. If you're going to start a war, you might want to run carbon, even passively, since the mushrooms might try releasing toxin.

Euphyllia like Frogspawn will.

you could put rubble or disks near the encroaching mushrooms and as they spread to those pieces you can trade them into your local fish store or to other reefers. With the mushroom craze on right now I don't imagine you'd have a hard time finding new homes for them.

if one mushroom, just about any chalice, acan, favia, any euphyllia, red goni. should do the job, but in group NOTHING(except you, lol). just cut them off with razor blade and toothbrush what's left, ideally do that while water change and run some carbon just to be safe.

bubble corals have nasty stings too. I think it will do the job.

Torch packs a powerful sting

I think a bubble would be okay against some just to stop spreading I recommend cuutting them off then fragging them and the cover up or scrub of the spot you cut it off of

Galaxia likely will too.

I've got a little cluster that's not where it's supposed to be this weekend I was going to knife them and epoxy the rock. I want something low flow and cheap to stick where they were. An aiptasia grew on my Favia but didn't last long. I'm not crazy about it. I may stick it back there.

Mushrooms are like anemone's they will detach and float away and find a new spot to attach, you could either get rid of the entire rock or start fragging.

any mushrooms attach to a rock can be removed easily as long as it's foot is not in a hole.

take a razor blade and scrape under the foot, basically remove a thin layer of rock directly below the mushroom, this will allow you to glue it to plugs.
