My experience is the same as C1GY's. There were some on my rocks, and just as I was beginning to worry about them they simply disappeared. Maybe my large Emerald Crab took them out, but that would be pure speculation.

I don't think I will be able to salvage any of the GSP as they are all through them. It is actually just on the one rock and I think I am going to try an experiment. I am going to pull the rock out and treat it with interceptor just to see if that has any effect on them. If not - oh well - I'll toss the rock.

Are you going to try a really high dose? I've dosed my tank with interceptor 4 times and they're still there

Yes I am. I actually just crushed up a 1/4 tablet of a 23mg tablet and dissolved it in about 5 cups of water. The rock is soaking in it now. Don't have any idea if this will work or not but seem to recall reading that panecur(sp) worked on these buggers and since that is a heartworm medicine - I think - it's worth a shot
I've really got nothing to lose as the GSP were going to be toast anyway and the rock is about the size of 2 of my fists so fairly small

Keep me posted, I'm interested to see how this pans out

Ok so I let it soak for about 4 hours and have just done a water change (100%). Quite a few of the hydroids came off and I still have the purple mat indicating that the GSP are still there. I am going to let it soak overnight - do a water change in the morning and see where we are at. A small brittle star and a couple of small brisle worms were also floating - dead.
