![]() 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.

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. |

![]() i find with very hard to kill corals, even with brushing and scraping can be removed by using kalkwasser in a paste, but it pretty much nukes whatever it touches. i had the same problem accept with 20 or 30 little mushroom leather frags, cut them off, and they grow right back. maybe 2.

![]() Its funny when you want to get rid of something , you can't and in some circumstances you can't keep other stuff alive. Recently lost some SPS for some unknown reason.

![]() I'm currently trying to force my GSP to grow on the back wall of the tank (easy to trim if it gets out of control). I have at least 3 to 4 inches between the glass and my live rock, so I'm not worried about it taking over anything.
I've had some success so far with it as I have two separate pieces now growing on the glass, but it's a slow process. Anyone else tried this? Any successful suggestions?

![]() Recently weeded out a bunch of my gsp. One part of the last rock I sold started growing on the bottom pane of glass where one of my PHs scoured the sand away and I kept it. It might end up in need of mowing some time but I like my GSP lawn Ive got going. I got rid of the big colonies not because I dont like how it looks but to make room for for more cherry pieces of coral ....like acans and killer zoas( if I can ever find some locally).
