Blender. Dump back in tank. Lol.

Looks like hairy or maybe even st Thomas mushrooms. Hard to tell.

Most people when fragging news and mushrooms cut the center mouth in hopes the animal will divide and make 2. A sharp exacto. Gloves. Goggles. Are required. Dont cut urself either!

I say wait and time will reward you
Most mushroom coral.divide on their own fairly quickly. U can turn the rock vertical and let gravity take place too. The coral will.move and leave babies behind hopefully.

Cut the center and leave on original rock? What if I dremel the rock and spread out the smaller pieces to different location in my tank?

I wouldn't risk cutting it. It'll produce more. That might be one of the sickest mushrooms I've ever seen.

Can u even see the center mouth? I'm all for leaving them.
Lol

There's probably 5 on the rock. But I wanted them to have more room to grow.

Oh, then just bust up the rock unless you want to keep it for some reason. You didn't mean you wanted to actually cut they mushroom itself up.

Also, send me one after you do that.

I agree with the send one out. My St. Thomas looks nothing like that and my Hairy is neon but also looks nothing like that. It's very cool. But if there is like 5 of them you can break the rock no problem and spread them out. I have found that a lot of times mushrooms will detach and float to another part of you tank when they need more space but spreading them out will be quicker.

Make sure they stay on the rock though I had to glue to mushrooms to frag plug fake rocks this week and they're holding so far but you don't usually get lucky gluing down softies.
