Default Filefish eat mushrooms and palys?

I have been unsuccessful in in clearing my liverock of mushrooms and palys. Can't scrape them off, as they just shrink into tiny holes and come back out when I am not looking... Used to think they were pretty, but consider them a scourge now. They keep invading my SPS and taking up room where I could otherwise place other more desirable corals.

I don't need the filefish for aiptasia, as my Pearlscales take care of that. But they don't do anything for my mushrooms and palys plague.

If the filefish do eat the mushrooms and palys, was thinking of rotating liverock through my QT, and hopefully the filefish will clean them off.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
