Help with ID

[roundman]

Can some one ID these and tell me what is the best way to remove some from the rocks they are growing on. Have about 25.

Second pic is with the macro setting on my new camera.

Thanks

They are nice hairy mushrooms. Almost look like yumas.
Best way would be to cut the off under their foot with a knife or screwdriver. Take a kittle rock off with it. If you leave any it will only come back. You can trade for some pretty good stuff with these

Looks like a Rhodactis Muhroom. Just scrape the foot off the rock with a razor blade :up:

Rhodactis sp. Are you trying to re-home them, or kill them?

 

[slinky]

don't kill the poor animal...

I'll trade those in, Ron We have some in Brian's 65 and they are just starting to prop, but people want 'em!

And yes, they are Rhodactis... nice ones too!

Re Home never kill animals.

Best way would be to chip below the foot and get a piece of the rock they're on, then put them on rock rubble and sell for $5 a pop. I'd buy some! Or sell the whole rock for $50 and go buy another piece of rock the same size/shape.

I recieved a small bullseye mushroom on a zoe frag I bought about a year ago. It has already left about six smaller ones along the rock i transferred it to. I had to cut one off because it was over shadowing some zoes on a neighboring rock. I just cut it with a scapel, and moved it to a new location. I mistakening left a small piece on the rock, and it is starting to grow back again. Hardy little guys. Thanks to John at All Things Aquatic for the advice.
