Aiptasia/Actinodiscus help!!!

[DrTechnical]

Hey all, I need alittle help. I bought this really cool rock with a bunch of mushrooms on it (i think they're actinodiscus, red maybe).


I love the mushrooms but the rock they came on came with an unwelcome guest.



Who likes to move around in the rock first coming up on one side....then another...



Thing is I have this pretty cool new rock that I would like to decorate.



Could I possibly remove the mushrooms from the current rock, throw it and it's unfriendly inhabitant away and place all of the mushrooms on the new rock? How do I go about doing that? I don't know how to frag mushrooms, never done it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[moved] - at the originator's request.

As for the transplant, it would be easier to kill the aiptasia than move all those shrooms (a bit of kalk paste dropped into/onto its mouth area will take care of it).

As for moving the shrooms, if the rock is soft enough, you can pry under them with a flat-bladed screwdriver and remove them with a small chip of rock, which you can superglue gel to the new rock. If the rock is too hard to pry under the shrooms, you'll have to cut the shrooms top off (with a sharp razor blade). The base will regrow a new shroom, but the hard part will be encouraging the cut tops to grow onto the rock - you can't glue the tops on. You'll need to either place the rock and the cut tops in a container that restricts the current enough to allow the tops to settle and then grow on the rock aithout blowing off, or you'll need to loosely wrap the tops and the rock with a transparent material that keeps the tops in contact with the rock - bridal veil materail from a fabric store can do this, but it takes practice to get the veil material secured tight enough on the rock without crushing the cut shroom tops.

Good luck,
