What are some tips and tricks you can use to get rid of Mushroom Corals that start taking over your reef tank. I’ve heard cutting them off the rock and epoxying the leftover piece and also heard of using a mojano wand as well. What are your tips and tricks?

Hi,
the only other 2 I know is take tweezer and try to pluck it off if it’s hold on the rock is not too tight. Or, pull the rock, take a chisel and try and chip a small peice of rock under the mushroom
im sure others have some tricks

I've used it on small mushrooms and it really degrades them, but mushrooms are tough. Just a bit if tissue and they can come back. What worked with the Frank's stuff was spread it all over the mushroom, let sit for a day and then siphon all the white stuff and mushroom goo out. This stuff is nasty though, it will bleach coralline and will harm other corals if it lands and stays on them, so be careful with it.

I was gonna tackle my mushroom coral problem this week by removing the rock and using a Nylon brush that attaches to my drill. The same type of brush that is used to clean grills or scrape paint. I will let you know how it turns out.
