How would I go about removing this mushroom from this rock? Long story short I’m upgrading tanks and I don’t want to bring pests over. It has these little blue clove polyps that take over everything, on the rock. Can I just remove the foot gently and put it on another rock? How do I secure it so it doesn’t float away? Any tips are welcomed, thanks!

Gently peeling the foot will work but it will likely cause damage. Damage can cause it to split in some cases or die in other cases. I've had both happen.

Technically mushrooms are Anemones and SOMETIMES the Eagle Steve Nem Cannon will work for them, so that may be an option to try.
