Identify Request

Hi, so these shrooms have been in my tank for a while when I noticed one being enveloped by this white growth. Any idea what it is and should I fight it or leave it be? Not sure how the picture quality is but I tried a different method this time.

It looks like the foot of the mushroom itself, they often leave behind a small piece of foot as the move which in then become new mushrooms.

Holy crap thats awesome! I just looked in and saw a mushroom off the frag that must have left it. Thanks!

Yep, pedal laceration, mushroom reproduction.

Play some Barry White in the background. . . [expedites the reproduction]

It's hard to beat Barry White's effectiveness in coral (or any for that matter) reproduction.
