    I recently fragged some xenia onto the back glass of my tank, and was thinking of putting some green star polyps on there as well. Seems like a good place for these two, where they can easily be controlled.

    What happens when these two "weed" species meet?

    Armageddon?? ;D

    Nothing I don't think. GSP is really not aggressive at all. Just fast growing.

    they'll have enough area to successfully compete for your concern to be an awesome piece of nature at its finest. i would love to see that overlap after a couple years of spreading across the glass!

    You're forever the optimist, PharmrJohn. You could be right.

    You might be mistaken, though.
