HELP ME COMMIT A MuRDER

[duke62]

So these mushrooms are made of pure cryptonite. I have donr everything to try and rid these beasts from zapping them with a manjano wand to kalk stright in there mouths with a hyperdermic needle to scrapping them off but these evil put on earth by the devil himself wont die. Today i took out two small rocks loaded with them boiled them for 20 minutes and when i took it out can you believe there were still clinging on the the rocks. I now have the rocks sitting in fresh water. Someone.....anyone has got to have a fool proof way t kill these sob-es.i am now putting the blame solely on these creatures for the deaths of 3 sps corals

take rock out and dry it.

Why not just sell the rocks or trade them for rocks without corals on them. I'm sure people would gladly do that.
If you can get them out to boil them, you can surely get them out to sell/replace them

 

[duke62]

Cant take the rock out. If i do i will disturb my sand bed and probably make things worse.

Many buddies of mine come to rob my easy corals, so trading your rocks with easy corals is something I would like a lot.

Then how did you get them into a pot to boil them??????????????

 

[KathyC]

If you are worried about the sandbed releasing crud when you disturb it..suck the sand out from around the rocks with a baster, remove & replace the rock, do a water change and sell the rocks with the mushrooms..problem solved!
No corals killed

 

[duke62]

Theones i boiled were 2 small rocks on top of my larger rocks with no sps on it.the heavily cover rocks are 20 to 25 lbs on the bottom of the tank. I put the rocks in first then the sand when i set up my tank.

 

[KathyC]

Pics please

There is a solution for everything without commiting murder

..and no I am not yelling at you...yet

 

[duke62]

I dont think a picture will help kat. I just want to kill them. My absolute last resort will be taking the rock out. I was also thinking of getting a galaxia and put it in the spot where the mushrooms are even though it will probably take forever

Wanted to get an idea how thick they are in there...

It would end up reaching out and stinging your SPS too..they have very long sweeper tentacles

Have you tried using bone cutters in the tank and chewing off the bits of rock under the mushrooms to get rid of them. A new pair would probably do the job for you, and then you wouldn't have to move anything.

 

[duke62]

To give you an idea.my one rock that you can see is 7x6 and you cant see the rock.on that particular rock there is around 70 shrooms

 

[Raul]

Can you cover the rock completely with sand?

 

[charliethetuna88]

Let them flourish duke .start a mushroom tank and give me ur sps lmao

 

[James983]

In my old tank I used to cover GSP with epoxy. It will be more difficult with mushrooms, but if you can cut them down to the rock it may work. Just a thought.

 

[Imbarrie]

I use small tubing to siphon the mushrooms when they start to get too many.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

I have mushrooms in no light for 4 months and they are still alive.....I feel your pain!!!
I ended up just buying all new rock and kept the mushrooms in my sump

 

[Sandyp1]

I don't think a Galaxia is a good idea. I had one in my old tank and it spread like wildfire!

 

[strgazr27]

Duke I might be interested if the price was right What color are they? Am I the only guy who loves them?

AKA sell them to some other poor sap so they have the same problem down the line!

Toss the rocks and get some new dry rocks from macrorocks.com or similar. Skene's method is also correct. One week in the sun will end them.
