So I have these mushrooms that I thought I had gotten rid of but it looks like a few made it over to my newish tank. They are beginning to spread around my acans and irritate them. How do you guys get rid of unwanted shrooms? I have tried aptasia x and that does not help. I have also used an aptasia zapper wand but it takes like 5 minutes per shroom to fully zap and melt. Any suggestions?

What about scraping them off and putting super glue over the foot. Or making a kalk paste?

I was going to also suggest something like scrape cut them off with coral cutters and epoxy or glue over whats left.

Make up a fancy name for them and pretend you dropped 350 a piece on them, they'll shrivel up in nothing flat. Seriously, I got rid of mine by sucking them out during water changes, if you're lucky the whole piece comes off the rock.

ive tried that on mine and can get some but some just dont budge. slicing them upon siphoning them out works so the mess doesnt stay in your tank.

I have the same problem with a different mushroom. Nothing works I've tried almost everything

I still have some uglies on rocks from 3 tanks ago. I call them my LE "double bagger" shrooms

Best remedy ever: boil some rodi water in the microwave and blast your unwanted shrooms with the boiling water using your baster. Ive done this for every unwanted guest too difficult to remove and have had perfect success.

Instant death. Problem over.
