detaching shro0ms?

[pass1over]

so what started out as 1 shro0m has turned into about 22 in 2 splits. I would like to detach some of them and mount them on small rocks or shells.
How does one go about pulling a mushro0m off a rock without hurting it or creating more?

I don't think you can. You can cut it at the base to make more but one will grow in it's place from the stump

so mushoom ???? thay grow that fast and unkillable it sounds like lol..
not sure if it a bood thing or bad ....

Since they really are not coral but smooth aneome.. they can move by themselves though you can frag a mushroom. You can actually cut them with a razor blade as long as you leave foot and mouth on each frag. I haven't ever done it so don't know how well it works. Anyway the easiest way is just stick a piece of rubble rock that you want them on right in the middle of them and in a few days or so(longer sometimes) they will move to the new rock. And when they do they leave a bit of "foot" behind and you have a new shroom in no time! :D

well, the problem is ... they frag on their own ... A LOT!

I want to pick some off the rock that fragged themselves without creating more.

You could try cutting them and then zapping the base thats left with any of the aptasia methods. But I would try it out on one shroom first to make sure it works.

to kill a shroom or whats left after a fragging. Take a cup of water and throw it in the micro wave untill almost boiling, take a syringe like the one that comes in test kits etc and shoot the shroom. This is a nicer way then adding chemicals to your tank, just make sure not to hit anything else with the hot water.

Hot water is my #1 Aptasia method!!

Place some other rocks real close to the rock with your mushrooms on it. They will spread.
