Ricordia Mushroom Problem

[mseepman]

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

Give away or sell it to canreef members :-)

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.

Thanks, Anyone who has had these things knows what I'm going through. I've already got a doz frags but they grow so close to the rock that fragging doesn't help the spread.
I'll try the juice.

Here's another thought. Is there a nice coral out there that would outsting(is that a word lol) the mushroom and drive it back

Hydnophora, if you're interested in an SPS like coral (I think these are like LPS masquerading as SPS). Very aggressive coral, would be interesting to see whether the mushrooms or the Hydnophora wins.

lol coral cage matches. we can all bet... on the slowest fight in the world haha 10$ on shrooms !!!
