What do you all think of this plan? Since the rocks are not very smooth it is impossible for me to pull the gsp off. I plan on taking the live rocks that have gsp out and putting them in a trash can with tank water. I figure if I cover the trash can and starve the gsp of light they will eventually die off. I know the dead gsp will cause an ammonia spike. At that point I think I can treat the rock like it is being cured. When the ammonia goes down I can then return the rock back to the tank. Good plan?

You could also trade the rock to someone for a similar sized rock. Win Win situation

it would be pretty cool to see if you got the gsp to grow all over the inside of the trash can

Green Star Polyps

They grow like crazy and can invade other corals pretty quick.

I thought it meant Good Sized Potatoes. Just my opinion, but you should peel them and fry them up.

I had a new idea. Since my wife likes the gsp I decided to isolate the rocks. I moved the covered rocks to the corner of the tank. They don't touch the walls or any non-covered rock. I'm thinking it's going to look like gsp island.

Just started a frag of GSP on the main rock of my 'scape. Should I abort it while I still can? I didn't know it could be so aggressive! How fast does it spread? An inch a month?
