Will these mushrooms invade the rest of my tank?

These green hairy mushrooms started as one and I dedicated this rock to it. My concern is that it will spread to other rock.

Quite possibly. How fast did it cover that rock?
How about trading shrooms with some other reefers? Get a bigger tank?

That’s about 4 months of growth. I’d have to get rid of the whole rock so it would be a pain but yes I can trade it on if I have to.

I just want to know now before it’s too late because I think they’d be hard to remove.

yea they grow like wildfire id just remove them all

Yes they will and looks like they are already quickly growing and multiplying.
One thing you could do is break the rock up and trade sell mushrooms as the grow and multiply.
Put smaller rocks and rubble around shroom so you can easily sell trade future babies as they are made.

If that is 4 months, then you have definitely created a healthy environment for growth and propagation.

When they get too crowded, they will detach from the rock and float to a new spot. Just pick them out when they detach
