Star polyps started to creep

[54seaweed]

This is so cool my star polyps are starting to creep up the back glass
be neat if it takes over the whole back glass
in about a week it went from a dime size to over the size of a half dollar on the glass

better pic without all the blue?

 

[54seaweed]

I'll try to get 1 in the morn

Nice, let it keep growing then "frag" it off the glass.

sorry took me so long to get a better pict had a few more important things going on but here is a better pict

The pink semi circle in the middle right? That awesome man!

yup hope they cover the whole back wall in time
at first thought it was a sponge till I saw the polyps extending from it

Lol very cool.

I was reading somewhere that some consider gsp invasive in their tank because of how Hardy they are and how fast they grow.

 

[54seaweed]

it's been in the tank almost 8 months and thats all it really grew so far

What was the size of your gsp when you got it?

 

[Ronin77]

That is awesome!!!! I'm trying to get mine to do the same thing. Lol I really don't want them on my rocks to much. The LFS here has lost some expensive corals in the 500gal dt from gsp invasion.

 

[Fish-guy]

Same with mine. Don't feel it's invasive as its growing very slow. My Anthelia is another story

My gsp is growing too fast and I find it a pain to get off the rocks it has spread to. Wish i had left it on an isolated rock or whatnot. Its pretty but its invading other corals fast. The back wall getting covered would look nice and possibly be easier to control. Hope yours does well.

The stuff is definitely super hardy! I have it everywhere in my tank. After scraping it off it seems to come back. Seems like if you don't get every tiny speck off it comes back! So aggravating.
I'm trying to get mine to grow up the back wall as well. I've peeled it off of smooth surfaced rocks before very easily with my fingernails. I'm thinking it would be much easier to contain being on the glass. I had to isolate mine to one rock and I set it on the sand by the back glass and side wall. I think it would be cool to see it grow on the side glass as well! You could outline it with a marker and watch it grow outside the lines. Lol.
With it being on the back glass you could shape it however you want so it doesn't look like just a big blotch of green. Make it grow in lines, or shape it into a cool design... That's what I want to do with it anyway.
