Is there any fish known to eat mushroom corals? My tank is covered with mushrooms and my only other option is to completely restart
 
I bought a hot plate. Sat it next to tank and boiled water in a pot. I hold the mushroom with tweezers and shoot the base with scolding water using a feeding tube. They always let go. Just using a pot of hot water doesn't work. It cools too fast.

I only have red shrooms though. Have not tried it on anything else.

Even most angelfish and butterflyfish won't eat them. I suggest injecting them with boiling water or lemon juice, as you would aiptasia. You could also just remove them by hand, and trade them at the LFS for a less invasive coral.
