How to remove a mushroom coral.

[Jmas4]

How do you remove a mushroom coral? It is growing over my chalice killing it.

have a picture for better input?

I'm in school rn. I'll get a picture when I get home. The mushroom is on the rock and it sides are creeping up onto the chalice

I have removed 200

pry up under it, score the attachment point via accuracy/surgery and remove it via abrasion in one fell swoop. they are easy to eradicate with a knife tip. you take some anchor point in the scrape, its a minor cosmetic damage until coralline plates back over. I rid my tank of them this way./

Will this kill my mushroom? How do you reattach without letting it float away?

 

[Tyreef2016]

Just be careful when taking it off. maybe u can just frag the rock it's on? Which in the long run will be easier to re-attach. If not you would need some low flow and maybe a rubble containter and wait for it to attach.
