Should I be worried

[saltlife97]

Do you guys think this gsp will over take my acan colonies ? Getting a little nervous

 

[sunken3]

that GSP will tank over your tank, your house... likely the neighborhood!

 

[AdamB]

Yes I would be based on my experience

 

[sunken3]

in all seriousness... grab a little off the rock.. put it on it's own rock away from everything.. let it grow.. kill anything that leaves the rock.. kill the rest that is on the acan rock.. or it will eventually take over the tank..

could be worse.. could be BSP.. that stuff spawns off shoots and spreads like pollen.

I would be more worried about the aptasia.

I would be more worried about the aptasia.

true.. at least when the GSP takes over the tank will be a pretty green.

I am trying to grow my GSP on the back wall.

Atleast the rock is separate from the rest of the rock but I don’t know how to take my blue orange acan off the rock it’s been growing into it for the past 2 years

it’s on a island rock away from the others but I’m as worried as you

Recommendations ? Maybe file fish could help ? I’ve just finally done 6 weeks no fish after an ich outbreak so looking to restock my fish

if you only have one or 2 aiptasia, just get some aiptasia X and you should be good.

maybe try aiptasia X on the gsp as well..

Acan is a dead fellow soon.

 

[saltlife97]

Not if I have anything to do with it

It'll thank you when it doesn't have a purple and green mat growing over it. Lol

Good call on that rescue mission.

I dont have a single issue with GSP and mine tends to travel along bare rock and around coral. . not on top of them.
If you feel uncomfortable. . move the gsp now.

 

[Corey Baker]

I'd also be worried about that Xenia you have in there too. I battled that stuff for a long time. It takes over everything!

I sometimes wonder if some gsp are more aggressive than others when it comes to growth. Mine in my tank will grow over anything, and when it runs out of space it starts growing stalks and branching.

Glue plug than when. Is good and attached to the glass you can remove plug
