Propagating Mushrooms?

[LordsSoilder]

Ive got some large hairy mushrooms growing on my togna rock and I want to split them... since I've already got a good amount of mushrooms throughout my tank I thought I'd just pop the heads off (about 6-8inch per shroom) and let the stems regrow and place the heads elswhere...

Sound like a good plan... and if so, how easy do the heads come off?

Thanks

Good link Germanman. I might try that myself as my mushrooms are spreading but only close to their original rock, it might be nice to balance the tank out a bit.

Well, the link speaks for your self and is pretty cool.

Be very careful with mushrooms. I started with 5 mushrooms and had over 200 after a few years. At that point I couldn't add anything else to my tank because they sting the heck out of other corals. They are beautiful but I would keep them in check and make sure they don't get out of control unless that is what you are looking for.

That last link was crazy...

A blender? seems harsh to me, but I wanna here how it works out... If they can live through that, I think the stems can grow new heads and the heads new stems... I think...

I also liked the idea about the orange bag...


Thanks
