Is GSP a GHA magnet?

[JoJosReef]

I have two places where this hairy algae is growing: 1) all over this GSP, and 2) in a small corner of the rock island next to it.

Is this something to do with this particular GSP or GSP in general? Is this a preview of what my whole tank is about to look like?

Should I take it out for a peroxide bath?

I am dosing ~1mL Vibrant per week plus daily Microbacter7 (I am seeding some Matrix for my next tank).

Thanks!

Mine is slightly covered but fully opens still. Pineapple sponges are ALL Over it and its fine

Mine is also slightly covered in the area of new growth.
If the GSP fully opens, then there is nothing to worry about.
I would not recommend doing the peroxide bath.

Don't really have any GHA in my tank currently. Have had some in the past but not in my GSP (or any healthy coral for that matter).

as long as it is still opening up fully it is fine. If it does not open up than you could try to pull of the GHA with your hand (just be careful not to hurt the coral)

My gsp doesn’t grow any gha

My GSP is a GHA magnet aswell.
But the GHA did not bother the GSP and its always fully opened..

My GHA disappeared almost entirely by dosing live phytoplankton

Have no problems with gsp in balanced tank. After it opens, everything should be fine.

i have trouble with gsp but my tank is balanced. i dont think it will recover. if it does i am going to run for president

My GSP is still opening up fully during the day, so I am leaving it alone. Just hope this isn't the start of a massive fuzzy phase--my one little dwarf blue leg hermit is about to put in overtime.

My GSP colony is about the ONLY thing in my 55 that wasn't covered with GHA. I cleaned most of the GHA off manually but treated the tank with FluxRx to get rid of it fully..
