    Haha. I've found a chunk of gsp that was in my sump for 2 weeks buried under a piece of sand. After about a week of being under the light in my main tank, it bounced back like nothing happened.

    you CANT kill GSP!! In about 6-8 months you will be back here asking how the heck you can kill it off, as its taking over everything!! haha. No, but dont sweat it, they are VERY hardy!
