Default Ricordia Mushroom Problem

It's hard to believe that I actually have to slow the growth of something down but it's come to that point.
How do you keep these things trimmed back?
I've tried injecting lemon juice and that seems to help but does anyone have a better way? They are hard on my LPS when they get too close.

Do you have pics? Ricordia's don't tend to grow that fast (at least not as fast as regular mushrooms).

Shade them out a bit if you can and/or direct some flow from a powerhead their way. That's all I can think of.

Whoops, the Ricordias are next to the Bullseye mushrooms. And it's the Bullseyes, not the Ricordias that are overgrowing the tank.
Anyways, back to my question. Flow doesn't help and these grow great under MH.
I've also got a bunch of frags that are growing under Home Depot grow lights so these things will grow anywhere.
