Large rhodactis on zoanthid colony. Reattachment advice please

[DanSavesTheDay]

Hello fellow reefers

I have a brand new colony of Green Bay Packer zoanthids which happen to have 2-3 large rhodactis mushrooms growing on them and overtaking them.

My question is that the foot looks to be well encrusted onto the rock how would I go about removing them and attaching them to a different rock? I am thinking about chiseling them off but they take up the majority of the zoanthids rock and I don't want to harm the zoas or the rhodactis.

Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated

If you have some bone cutters you could cut the piece of rock with the mushroom on it

Bone cutters would work , or even better a band saw would zip them right off

When removing/reattaching mushrooms its always easier to get some of the substrate with them . that way you have something to glue down.
