Green hairy mushroom removal

[nlutfi]

Does anyone have any tips or tricks for removing or killing green hairy mushrooms? They have spread through out my tank and are taking over some of my sps? I have tried injecting vinegar and f aiptasia it just seems to cause them to retract for a day or two and then come back and sometimes split into more. Does anything eat them? Or any corals that are know to sting them back? Thanks!

Make them retract and use a bone cutter to cut the rock at their foot to frag them off ?
You could prob just sell the frags too
If you cut them off it’ll apparently regrow from the small tissue. I’ve never had a hairy mushroom grow from a small piece when breaking it off he rock tho

I get these guys to close all the way by feeding them. They look like little closed anemones when they eating

If I can get them off without killing them they are all yours!

Green hairy mushrooms are a scourge. Only thing I found effective is to remove the rocks and scrub them off.

Unfortunately that's really not an option for me.

I regret ever putting those things in my tanks lol. Best way I've found to remove them is just tick them off then scrape them off with something.

Thanks! I think that's what I'm going to try next!
