Oceans Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Ok...how do you kill a mushroom? (threaten) I don't think that Joe's Juice works. I tried that once when I was working at a LFS in Chico CA and it didn't work very well (I wasn't trying real hard either). I like my mushrooms, but now they are causing some grief to my other corals and that's crossing the line. Any ideas? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Use a razpr blade and go slowly around the base to remove it. YOu have to go slow and in a cirlce pattern so you don't leave any part of the mushroom behind. If any is left behind it will grow a new mushroom. Putting the mushroom in an area of high flow also works well as teh mushroom will detach and go somewhere else. If you have a epreate little tank to do this with, like a WC bucket then you can keep the mushroom, attach to a piece of rubble rock and trade with a neighbor, the razor blade method is also good for that. If you just want to kill it, blow torch works. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceans Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I heard a rumor that a syringe full of calcium hydroxide will work(fingers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defigart Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Why not put it in the Classified threads, first person to come get it gets it for free? That way it doesn't get "punished" for doing what is designed to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly guy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I heard a rumor that a syringe full of calcium hydroxide will work(fingers) sodium hydroxide mix 2 tsp of NaOH (lye), with 2 tsp Kalkwasser (calcium hydroxide) in 100ml of distilled water. This isnt your typical kalk paste/joes juice concoction. Do not get it on stuff you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siskiou Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 My pistol shrimp keeps the mushrooms and brown polyps under control in the 20H. He's also clipped off xenia and nibbled down a leather, despite being fed pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

civicsit Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 you can cut them of with a razor blade, then scrub the rock with a stiff brush to get the rest of the shroom off of the rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
