Kalk pasting should work but if you want to try something different you could cut out as much as you can and then scrub the rest of the rock while siphoning out the debris at the same time. A tooth brush zip tied to a hose should work.
Thanks Whatcaneyedo, you are absolutely correct.

I didn't realize syringes were so cheap. Bought 4 of them, 25 cents each at Shoppers Drug Mart.

Works easily with a syringe, they are all shrivelled up right now, probably will see what happens and jab them again in a couple days.

I have alot of nice SPS, shrooms are nice, but my 4-5 have multiplied and are smothering my exotic colored zoo's and getting too close to my SPS.

As I am not willing to dismantle my rock, as these are at the bottom of my aquascaping, my only answer was to kill. I hated doing it, but it had to be done.

thanks all for the advice.
