I have mushrooms taking over my tank. Is there any thing that eats these stupid things? I have cut them off and scrubbed my rock. Short of replaceing all my live rock I'm not sure what else I can do. The mushrooms have killed a couple corals already. They are pretty but kinda sick of them. Here are a few pics.

I had the same issue and ended up replacing some rock. I put the old rock in my sump mushrooms and all and they are still alive over a year later with just a cfl bulb over them. No more shrooms for me, LOL
 
The rock I can pull out I use a small torch to kill them, problem is they are sometime in spots I can not reach. To me they have become like weeds in a nice lawn.
 
If you absolutely refuse to replace the rock, then you can take each piece out and completely cover the mushrooms in super glue. You'd want to get a very large tube of thick superglue from a hobby supply store. I've done this in the past, but it was just a 10 gallon tank, making it a fairly easy task.
