    Yep...trade the frags to your LFS for a fish or some frozen Mysis.

    First, Welcome to 3 Reef!

    You may need better nutrient export in your setup. Could you add the details of your setup to the signature section of your profile...then it will come up with each post...

    Size tank, types of lighting and filtration, etc...

    Mushrooms thrive in higher nutrient lower light systems.

    What are your water parameters, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate? :)
