Yup. Secluded to the fuge and isolated my gsp as soon as realized what they would do. It's gorgeous and has tons of movement in tank, just a lil invasive and takes up real estate in tank quickly.

Razor blade and cut the purple mat. Pretty resilient. As always, I don't recomend cutting in tank. Good or bad, idk, just never liked the idea of cutting in my display tank.

So what put the rock in a bowl of tank water and do it outside the tank?
Exactly. Here's how I do it:
Have a bowl of tank water, a bowl of coral dip (to prevent infection).
Pull the rock and place on clean cutting surface.
Use a clean sharp razor to cut excess mat off rock trying to cut between polyps.
Dip the frag and glue to a plug or small rock.
Dip the colony.
Rinse both in tank water after dip.
Return to low light and low flow area to allow to heal.
Was the first coral I fragged and don't think I could have killed it if I tried.
Just be sure to keep it moist and not to let it dry out.

The back wall was going to be my suggestion but AdamPhe beat me to it lol. I had some in my first tank that I didn't attend to have grow up the wall that did. I had the rock on the sand to keep them in check but it was touching the glass. I love gsp but haven't had the nerve to put then in my current tank because of their growth. I've got mostly lps, sps, and zoas now.

I must say though, if your tank is acrylic, you might not want to put the razor on it to keep them in check if you do decide on a back wall gsp garden. Razor blades and acrylic don't get along with each other very well.

I like corals...
You can just cut and pull them off. I use a razor blade and tweezers. That's one coral you don't want on your rock work
