I attacked and removed all of the GSP that was taking over my tank. I had it growing all the way up the aragacrete rockwall surrounding my overflow. It was spreading out onto the rocks and starting to smother my other corals. I moved a few pieces of the LR that was heavily covered with it into my 50 gallon tank, but the rest got scraped, picked, scrubbed and killed off.
Under intense lighting, it is just another pest. I have minimal light on my 50 gallon and the GSP is growing much less agressively in there. Plus I have a large scarlet hermit crab that helps keep it it check by snacking on it from time to time.
