Tell me, why I shouldn't put GSP on the glass?

Here's an idea.. Use an old credit card or I used a SIM card holder. i could scrape it off with minimum damage to the GSP...

 

:-X

I did not know this. I have seen so many mature reefs with TONS of GSP in them. But come to think of it they were not sps dominant. Thanks for the info.

 

I think all octo corals and leathers do constant chemical warfare.

 

Wow!! Thank you all for your input. It sounds to me like I would be better off removing it all together. I like the nuclear green polyps on them, but I think I just about had it with.... not so pretty anymore when it turns into a pain in the rear.

So, next question: how do I go about removing it? I tried peeling some off a while back on an attempt to control it and first it was really well attached to the rock, so I think I killed more than I needed and the blue ridge and the green monti cap next to the GSP really took a toll.
Is nuking the rock my only option now? I am pretty sure that it's also inside the rock caves, since it comes out of holes on the clean side of it...... I thought they needed light! :-(

Sounds like you might need to nuke the rock.

 

I tried that, it just did not peel away like I have had it do on rocks for some reason. Here I thought well no biggy I will just peel off the back wall, and give away sheets of the stuff. Whole pieces do come off but it leaves a lot of slime in the water.

Now when I see people get it, I cringe. But, it might be great in soft tanks just not tanks looking to be sps dominated.

What it lacks in mesenterial filaments it makes up for in toxins.

 

the only way I have been able to rid it for good is to take the rock out, scrape as much off as you can, and let the rock dry out in the sun for a few days, then rinse it off and cure it so you dont get an ammonia spike from all the dead organics on the rock. Im sure there are other ways of nuking rock with bleach or whatever but I have never done it that way.

Oh and 2in10 or Corailline, one of needs to change your avatar. I gets confused. JK

 

I guess they go in the list of "corals I need to get rid of" along with the anthelia and the pulsing xenias. Of course they're all on very pretty rocks that I would love to keep

Now that is funny I was thinking the same thing today. I will get to that.
