GSP

[cmc1]

Out of control GSP. There encrusting on my tonga and is very difficult to remove, would a sting of an Euphelia or hammer do the trick? Or if I cover the not already covered tonga with an encrusting Mont., would that prevent them from?

Suggestions needed, particularly hobbiest who have them.

Do a search on Kalk paste or Kalk slurry.

You mix some up, and put it on the gsp. It will stop or kill it outright in the area you cover with the Kalk paste.

You can also try covering them with a rock or clam shell so no light can get to em............

To answer your questions about effects from/to other corals, my Euphelia keeps them from opening. The GSP have made my Euphelia much more aggressive. As for the hammer, mines too far away to affect so I can't say for certain, but I doubt it. My hammer does not seem aggressive, but YMMV. My GSP have covered several growths of M. digitalis, and I have to keep it pruned back from my leather or it will choke it off. I have a beautiful purple GSP with bright green centers so I really love it even if it is taking over. I can peel mine right off most areas if I need to.
