So I have a Sunkist that is attached to the bottom of glass on my tank. I read you can scrape it off but also heard to cover with rubble and it will attach itself to a piece as it tries to get back to light. Any theories to this or try.
Thanks
 
It'll take time but cover it with rubble will do the trick... just make sure to leave a little of the mushroom exposed.

Worst case you can peel the bounce off of the glass and put it in a container with rubble. I've done that with discosoma after pulling them off the rocks. I will admit I'd be wary of doing this with one of my bounce mushrooms.
 
Since it’s on glass it should be very simple and successful if you just slowly scraped it off with a razor blade in your case. Shrooms are very resilient to any type of the slightest damage. I have had these Florida recorded that I bought one of a few years back and they pop anywhere with a new one. When one pops up to close to another coral of any type I remove it. I will scrape it away with a blade or chisel it away literally destroying it and even if even a tiny fragment remains it will start growing into another one rather quickly if I didn’t get it all.
 
Credit Card works well for anemones and rockflowers, I'm sure it would work fine for a mushroom also.
Just be slow and patient. Once you get an edge up, he'll start to let go.
 
I scrape mine off with a scalpel blade, being careful not to arm the leg. Depends how deep you tank is to reach and have enough handle on it
Frag tank so it should be easy to get to
 
They are related to anemones, so they have a foot. As others have stated, a credit card would work.
