mushrooms and zoas surviving a rock cooking?

im having a tough time getting these tiny little spots of turf algae to stop growing on the tips of my live rock structures, and im currently dosing nopox and using chaeto in sump lit with a red/blue hydroponic par 38. water tests 0ppm phosphate so i think it is time to whip out the brute and go at it again with a rock cooking.

since water tests undetectable i plan to remove one rock structure at a time and replace with a freshly cooked structure, starting with the new structure i glued together a couple of weeks ago and have been curing since.

almost all of my frags have been transported to egg crate and now all thats left is the zoas and shrooms growing on my rock that i cant get off without damaging rock/coral. would these make it through a 6-8 week dark period? also, would i be able to do large water changes on the brute say over 50% or should i run gfo and only do smaller weekly WC's? i was thinking of running lathanum chloride in a filter sock to speed things up but not sure how safe that will be.

i have a rock with my RBTA attached but i think i will leave that rock and try to shift flow or placement around until i can get him to scoot onto another rock eventually.
