Is there anything that I can inject in mushrooms to get rid of them? They are begining to kill some very nice brain corals. :mad:

yeah you can kill them off with same stuff that kills aptasia.
ok better advice is where are they growing to close for comfort? on substrate or rock. can the brain be moved. how about fraging each shroom and trading in for credit at lfs? you can do this simple by cutting them off at base with sharp utensiel. the thing is that when you cut them...no matter how close you get them off at the base...if any tissue remains on the growth surface they will regrow at that same place. in any case this stunts all growth so is another answer to keep the brain from suffering


i just think you should use this situation of fast growing shrooms as a benefit for you to sell them as they grow.

I have so many freaking shrooms in my tank I have inject them with everything but nothing seems to work .... they are a pain for sure.

The best way so far is to take the rock out and sacrape them off one by one and keep doing it until they are all gone
