Red mushrooms everywhere

[WarmWaterDiver]

I bought a nickel sized red mushroom about 6 months ago and not I have about 30 of them and they are multiplying by the day. Any idea how to control them? I've had majano anemones before and lemon juice + vinegar worked well but i'm not sure about these guys. I feel bad because they are really pretty but they are taking over.

Manually pick them out.

take em into the LFS for store credit

I'd do that with all my shrooms but my LFS won't gimme credit. Since its not from a coral farm. But all LFS's are different.

I can only pluck out some of them (which are now residing in my sump) but there are a lot in the tank that are stuck to large rocks.

Pull them off the rocks. You'll have to use something to get a grip on them. Plastic tongs should work. Grip them at the base, then pull. They'll pop right off if you put a little muscle behind it.

This is what I do. I`ve sold hundreds to the LFS over the years.

Nothin' wrong with a few mushrooms! But I would sell them to my LFS for credit too.

Trade them with others.

Tell your LFS that they are tank raised!! are they crazy. :) they are growing in your tank, You are now a coral farmer ;) Maybe they will trade something for them.

Sell them on EBAY. You can put smaller rocks all around them and they will start to grow onto them as well. So it will be easier to get them out.
