Bingo.
Once you start aggravating them by trying to cut them out or to paste them to death, they'll reproduce like crazy.
I had the same issue and luckily for me I knew someone that would take the 'shrooms for free along with the 2 gorgeous huge lovely pieces of LR that they were growing on.
Other option is too remove the LR, take it outside, scrape the area as best as you can and let it dry out. Then recure.
A third option is take the LR with 'shrooms to you lfs and get credit.

Good luck

Yeah...if you're rocks have other life on them...you are "screwed"

I've never had aptasia...but I make up for it in mushrooms.

Mushrooms can be very beautiful, and mine were quite nice, but they are kinda like aptasia and can multiply quickly.
