GSP Elimination

[Mopar Reefer]

I'm getting little "blooms" of GSP in my tank, and this is a coral I do not want, at this time. Heard something about injecting it with lime juice?? What works? Thanks in advance.

palys just use a razorblade or inject the polyps with kalkwasser.

for gsp your going to have to scrape them off the rocks im not sure if blasting them with anything would be a good idea.

i accidentally killed some part of my gsp colony before because i put hot water cause of aiptaisia growing on it so you can do hot water..or you can frag it and give it away..you'll make somebody happy

I read that you can easily scrape the green star polyps off with a razor blade. You'ld have to get the purple mat and polyps off. Haven't tried it yet, but I'm going to.

I'd just use some kalk paste and kill it like you would aiptasia.

Peeling is hard, the mat that it grows on is pretty thin and tears pretty easy, worth a shot, but I doubt you'd get 100% of it off....

I removed all the rock with GSP on it out of the tank I didn't want it in. I'm going to do the scraping method so I can make frags. There are a lot of local people with softy tanks that like em. I think they're pretty too, but the toxic factor isn't so appealing.

I've successfully killed zoanthids that surround my SPS using kalk paste. Works great.
