I have some brown button polyps that came on my mushroom rock. They have taken over and now I want them gone. Is there a good way to do this? Like pulling them off or something? They just keep spreading, no matter where they are in the tank!

I have the same trouble with them, they don't pull off very well.
I have been taking the rocks out until they die off. They do seem to grow everywere in the tank, just like a weed.

Put enough light over and they will be somewhat pink.

Other than that, there is not much you can do. They will take over the entire tank.

Yea, they just share a rock with some neon green mushrooms. I might try cutting them off.

They are almost impossible to hurt or kill. I have mowed them down with a razor blade... no effect.

Kalk Paste is the only method I have found. Manual removal just doesn't work.
