We was moving my mushroom around and I noticed on the underside of the rubble it is attached to that there are two baby mushrooms growing. Is there anyway to safely remove them from the rubble and get them on their own as they are more or less in the sand and I’m not sure how they are even alive. Or are they like a bta and will wonder off when they want to

Mushrooms are corallimorphs, not corals. They can crawl some, or, when sufficiently upset, can let go of their hold and float away.

Pointing a powerhead at them will generally annoy them into letting go. Alternately, you could snip a bit of the rock off with bone snips, taking the anemone with it.

Thanks for info. Would it be better to let them grow more where they are if they are happy before they at as they are about the size of a coffee bean now. I don’t know if my hermits will pick at the cleaning and kill them?

just let them go. if they want a better spot to be, they will slowly move themself to get there, or detach themself to go elsewhere
 
If your hermits don't bother the adult shrooms, they shouldn't bother the babies.

You might try tilting the rock a little, to get them slightly further away from the sand.
