What to do with excess coral trimmings??

LDH · Oct 2, 2016

I know most of your answers are going to be sell them online or take to the LFS but what do I do with " weed " corals like gsp that grow faster than I can give them away? I've isolated it so it's not going to take over my tank and I can't completely get rid of it because it's my husband's favourite and I have to do anything to keep his support of my addiction but it's becoming a bit much. Is there a humane way to dispose of the trimmings?

Thanks !!!

In my tank GSP is only allowed in two places.... the back WALL and on the back of turbo snails( mostly cause I find this amusing roaming corals! It's like a cool paint job!)

As far as getting Rid of it frag it out..like 2-5 buck and give it/ ship it(plus 6.50 priority) to newbies.

Honestly if you have MATTs...like flat matts cut off the glass flat of it...that would sell even better and for more. I couldnt find that when I started my latests tank...couldnt believe no one had this.

Maybe have small rocks next to them to grow on and share those in swaps or add them as freebies or gifts with people you deal with or visit...
