Default I need to get rid of mushrooms, How?

I have too many mushrooms, unable to remove rock or pry off. I hate to do this, but is there a way to kill them? Without affecting others.

Kalk paste and a syringe needle. (Used to be easy to get synringes at UFA, but they moved and I don't know where to, so, that one might be an interesting challenge now..).

May take repeated attempts but usually works pretty good. Better to get the pastey kalk goo at the bottom of the kalk slurry since it's "more potenter" and if you turn your pumps off it's generally pretty targettted (ie. without affecting others).

What if I don't have Kalk paste. Would Tailored Aquatics Aptasia killer work?

Does anyone have any syringes for sale?

Thanks Tony.

Why would you want to KILL a coral? If you have to many then give them away, I am sure somebody would take them.
