Green Star Polyps

Could anyone please advise me if their is any way to kill or stop GSP from spreading?

 

They are starting to take up to much real estate and getting to close to other corals.

 

There is no stopping them. I put my piece on the sand and now it's encrusting over the sand bed. Time to get rid of it!

 

Occasionally pick them out by hand???

 

I pulled mine out by hand also.... They will come out in massive clusters....

 

Just peal it off the rock with your fingers or cut with a razor blade. If you want it in a tank just apply it to a single rock that you can remove easily and prune.

 

I've read to peel it back from the rock, then cut it and use a blowtorch on the area you don't want it to spread on... heard it's a proven method but have not tried it yet. Just got my GSP so i'll be keeping a close eye on this thread

 

So reading this. I see these a lot at my LFS and I understand they are one of the easier corals to keep. And for my eye they are very pretty. So it sounds like the big problem is they do too well? Are they as easy to keep as they sound? Note: I have no corals now, was thinking of trying this as my first.

 

Smear them with kalk paste or place a coral that has a potent sting next to them.
