I agree with the others. Remove the infested rocks and sell them to some poor sap... I mean beginner. I've tried peeling, scraping, brushing and yelling but they just keep growing so I'm going to remove the rocks they're on and either cook them in my sump or trade/sell them to someone else.

I must be one of the only poor sap out there that loves GSP. I hope I know what I got myself into when I picked up a bunch a little while back.

I really like mine too... I like how they wave in the current. Also I get to trade/sell for other stuff, so it's contributing to the fund!

Like mine as well but wish I would have been more careful where I first placed it.

I liked them when they were a small, manageable size. Now that they turned into a monster on me I want them banished! So it looks like I'll be re-aquascaping a little. Anyone in the Red Deer area want to trade anything for some GSP rocks?

Looks like we all have the same problem. I liked it at first, now its got to go. I already got rid of the big piece of live rock it came on, but now i have to remove it from the rocks it jumped to. @ small area's about 3"X3" but i know what that will turn into in month. I had a large clown anemone go over one of them thinkking it was going to sting/suffercate it to death, but NOTHING happen to it. Guest you guys are remending that i should take care of it now!

At least they're not as invasive as anthelia and xenia... if you keep them on an island of their own you shouldnt have any problems. Dont get me wrong I do like them, I just dont like them encroaching in on and stinging my SPS! I've also been able to buy a MH bulb or two from the money I've made selling frags of them locally.

Never thought GSP would bother anything but have started to notice some die off on my monti plate were the GSP has grown between the plates (had been okay together for something close to a year).

Xenia I've found doesn't so much sting as grows over but at least I find is easier to remove than the GSP.

GSP can be a pain.
