Naw, you dont cut mushrooms. leave them where they are and if u add more water flow they soon start to "droop". This means that the mushrooms will start to sag and look like they are melting when in fact they are drooping to "bud" to form new mushrooms. So if you place a few pieces of rock around and underneath the mushroom rock you will collect the offspring of the mushrooms. dont cut the mushrooms , you will only kill them and you cant only cut some types of corals. Mushroom polyps are not one of them.
my first mushrooms :D
- Thread starter princess
- Start date
Even if mushrooms are buried they will still grow out. mushrooms are very hard to kill. you will know when they are dying cause they will look like they are melting. Mushrooms usually dont detach unless they are dropping buds. and they will thrive almost anywhere there is light. they will even grow out of the sand and attach the foot to the bottom of the tank
i know! its amazing you see them on tv or in pictures but when you actually get them your like how cool! i love how all my family visit and they go stright to look at the tank 
i think i'm going to become a coral junky 
lol
think next it will be some type of polyp...i've seen yellow ones that look nice or the green xenia? I shall research those 2 to start i think
i won't cut the mushrooms .....i read some where that you can to frag it and such but you know what i'm like i just wanna mess about with stuff but i'm sure you can cut mushrooms? even cut them into 4 peices i've seen.

200% disagree....really sorry to say it...but i do....
To frag a actinodiscus sp. or rhodactis SP. coral, you simply cut the head off with a razor blade at the base of the disk, cut the head in to pie segments, depnding on how big it is..ensuring that a part of the mouth is a part of each pie segment, put the cuttings into a tub with some rock rubble, cover with viel and wait for a week....then add to the main rock work..
For the posters clairification, you can do this to any type of mushroom coral....you will not kill it unless you use an uber blunt blade and butcher the shroom to nothing...
To further state the above. I have done the experiment where i cut the disk off a large shroom, threw it in the blender, blended for 10 seconds on coarse chop and emptied the blender in the frag tank....2 weeks later, shrooms were popping up every where....
you should try it
Thanks
Anyways...back to thread Ops mushrooms....they look great princess, a good price to pay for them too....
