Filefish eat mushrooms and palys?

My next step might be to remove the rock and try chisel them out (getting really desperate now)...

Epoxy them over or super glue them they need photosynthesis in order to survive they can only go so long without it , a thin sheet of coral putty and a few weeks later pull it off no more mushrooms or anything photosynthetic .

Super glue works to but is time consuming lol
