what fish will eat mushrooms but not SPS?

I would like to suggest that just like any other coral or anemone, if it thrives in your tank it *can* become a pest. I personally consider Idaho grape monti to be that. But that's another story...

Point is, if you have a tank completely overrun by nutrient rich water loving corals, you may want to consider some husbandry changes in addition to being more conscientious about what corals you place in your tank.


Phos .002 on a clorimeter
nitrates 0

don't know how much cleaner the tank can get...lol

I've tried all other methods to get rid of them only to have them pop back up. I was thinking of adding this guy but I don't know how well he'll get along with my falme angle that been in there for 2 years

I don't have a problem moving my clams or zoa's to another tank as long as I can get rid of thease shrooms once and for all.

what shrooms? Sorry, but your tank looks very nice! I don't see an overabundance of mushrooms anywhere, but maybe I'm just not looking correctly!

I'm happy to see a mushroom here or there grow in my 55 gallon. Plus I have xenia. Maybe I'm wishing for the wrong things here????

Anyway, aren't there other corals that'll outgrow the mushrooms or kill them when too close to the mushrooms?

My post was for tony13... your tank doesn't appear to be overrun by mushrooms at all :)
 
Good luck with that; none that I know of. I just performed an exorcism with a scissors with some good effect. Did not get all of them, but got a lot. In two weeks, I will do it again.


I am using hemostats and bleaching base rock to rid my tank of the 1000s, I also have a majano wand that turns them to white goo
