can mushrooms be safely removed from a rock?

no blowing off is def not an option,,,, to many other corals in the tank that would get blasted in the process.

 

so what are you gonna do with the shrooms after they are off?

 

hmm if i can get them off clean proly trade them, if shipping was a lil easier and cheaper for live corals id donate them to 3reefers.

well last night i had to move some corals around to make room for the digis, and well i dint get the shrooms off yet but, i do have like 5 frags now of pink birdsnest that i trimmed off my colony it was really dense and bigger than my fist, some of the under branches were not getting any light so i fragged them in hopes they will color up and grow. also should have some turban frags soon. may even have to frag my frogspawn, things are getting really overgrown.

but the shrooms hopefully ill try on them tonight.

 

MR Bluephish just as a note make sure you are using a ground probe in your tank. Digis hate stray current.

 

mushroom will live. Just use razor blade to cut as close to the rock as possible. They will not die that easily.

 

Use the razor, cut at the base then scrape remaining off with something like a screwdriver or knife.

 

i just got a new dremel 220 piece kit yesterday so... im going to try to cut the whole colony off in one thin slice of rock just under them.

 

i just had a very large about to split mushroom vanish.. if i knew how i accomplished that I'd let you know gluck
