    I have a small (5 gallon) tank and I was wondering if I would be able to get some (or 1) mushroom corals in there. If so is there a risk with my LPS and inverts being harmed by them? Which route should I go?

    It depends where you put them, I would have them as far as possible from any LPS/SPS.

    Most shrooms are pretty harmless. You'll be fine. However keep an eye on them as they can spread like crazy :)
