Mushrooms are like cockroaches..... very little will kill them.

I'd check your salinity with a refractometer to make sure you are in the 1.024-1.026 range or check your temp.
 
well
keep good flow (water circulation) in the tank, as when the mushrooms are deteriorating, they release toxin which may burn themselves if not blown away by the water flow.

i'm not sure what lights you have on there, but i would put the mushrooms away from too much lighting for now, as in put it on the bottom of the tank not the top

are all the fish and corals doing ok?

do 10% water change weekly or even more, this way at least you'll remove the toxin produced by the mushrooms so they're not affecting the fish and corals that much
 
thank you and yes everything is good excpt for them, my temp is between 77 and 79 80 never more, i will try to put them lower in the tank they arent too high , and they have slowed down since i did a 20 gal water change thank you again
 
are you using filtered water and a good salt mix? It's very important to use reverse osmosis water or RO/DI water so you aren't introducing heavy metals or DOC into your tank. A lot of people might tell you you can get away with adding Amquel to tap water but you should really be using RO or RO/DI.
