    I thought the same about my girl.. now I just miss her! lol Don't take her for granted.

    But on a more relevant note, I would not be upset one bit if my entire tank was nothing but a giant GSP lawn. How can you guys complain about gsp????????? It's probably the single most colorful coral there is.

    i like GSP but just wish it grew slower. i have had it overrun and kill a couple of my corals. mine even branches out into the water column and blocks the light from corals on a lower level. My LFS will buy some of my cuttings but i think i have pretty much saturated the market around here. I don't know what to do with it anymore.

    Oh scary.... I didn't know GSP did this at all. Very neat, but very disturbing. :)

    While spawning in systems might be rare, it can also be a pain. I have my rainbow pocillopora growing in 7 other places (that I'm aware of) from spawning in my tank. Luckily it isn't terribly aggressive.

    oh no! mine did that a while ago! i dont think the fish even ate them. Does anyone know if blue snowflake polpys do the same? They are popping up EVERYWHERE! are they as agressive as gsp?

    I do like the gsp but its covered the rock its on and is now starting to grow on the sand! And apparantly its spawing! cool photos though!

    So cool. I love GSP too. I had the blue clove/snowflakes that spawned and got everywhere. They were pretty too, but I hated it when they got in between polyps of high priced zoanthids/palys.
