I use boiling water to tame any that gets out of control on me. I have it growing up most of the back glass on my reef, and sometimes it creeps across the sand and gets on my rocks when I'm not looking so I have to get it with the boiling water. It takes several treatments though over the course of a couple months. I use a length of rigid airline tubing on the end of a big 200cc syringe. Always gotta be onnit. Best thing I have figured out so far.

How attached to your rock are you? I advised someone locally to just trade in their GSP covered rock at our LFS for some new liverock. They made the trade and the store was able to sell it within a week. Theres always some new person to the hobby who likes the stuff.
I've personally just used a butane torch to get rid of small patches. I've tried leaving the rock in the dark for several months but I find GSP will just go dormant and then will grow again right away when illuminated once more.

Sell it. That's what I did. At first I thought I'd try to keep some on a little island on the sand, but then I got really sick of trimming it as it grew onto the sand. Sell all of your rock cheap to a reefer just starting out or doing a FOWLR tank, then get some base rock to replace it. That's what I would do anyway. And if you still like GSP, then keep it on it's own little island on the sand.

keeping mine semishaded in the sand.. but i keep finding random little patches here and there in the tank probably from little pieces that got away on long ago trimmings....
trying kalk on the hard to reach places and its slowing it down but not obliterating it.
