I know what you are saying, but these rocks aren't touching the rocks with SPS mounted to them. When the mushrooms get closer to the structure i will move them away and frag them down to stop them from encrouching on my SPS.

on it's way soon don't worry, I'm hoping to have some full tank shots next time, right now all it looks like is piles of rocks with a droplet of color here or there.

Great looking corals and nice photography. But as for the mushrooms, they don't need to be touching as more mushrooms bloom they will release from the rock and hide in every nook and cranny until the bloom and multiply there. Yours are beautiful though and I understand the resistance to culling them.

I need to go hunting.

The shroom island seems to be very popular , i think its a great way to balance out the tank . Yours seems to be well on its way but its hard to tell without a full shot.

Mine is kind of more like a shroom peninsula than an island, but it is growing in fast.

And don't worry, the full tank shot is on it's way
