I've been fighting bubble algae on and off for about a year now and I'm getting tired of it. I physically remove them with a hose and screw driver and they come back within a week. They detach from rock and end up in my powerheads, causing cascading issues. I'd rather grow GSP because at least...
I'm planning a little 10 gallon DIY AIO aquarium for my office at work. I want to do a bare bottom and let GSP basically cover the whole thing.
What I want to know is if there would be a way to prevent the GSP from growing up onto the rockwork? If I attached pvc pipe cutoffs to keep the rock an...
It hasn't come out in 4 days now. Starting to get bit worried.
Sorry for the brevity, but Im at work...worrying!
I seem to have 'invested' in a dodgy marine test kit which shows my parameters as follows:
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate between 5 and 10
pH - no idea as the reading colour...
Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone's doing great. I want to get some quick advice on my GSP coral. The tips curl up as soon as my lights come on. They are long and extended when the light go down/dark. I am not sure why do they do that? I have placed it on the sand bed towards the corner with no...
Hi guys
I'm new in the hobby and got my first frag 2 days ago. I tried cutting away a bad part today and when the lights went out I noticed tentacles comming out of the part where I cut the GSP frag. After some research I think it is a spaghetti worm. Can anyone help me identify it? I dipped...

Hi All,
I noticed some really strange behavior from one of my GSP's last night and I am really not sure what to do. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Params:
Calcium= 500ppm
kH=179ppm
Nitrate= 10ppm
Phosphate=1.0ppm
As soon as I saw that high of a nitrate reading I did a 50% water...
I want to know what my best option here is. I have a nano and my GSP and clove polyps are starting to get slightly overgrown but I’ve never fragged before. The clove polyps at my LFS are usually $10 per polyp so I would love to frag up that colony and start making some money back. Also, I’m only...
I have 3 extra colonies of Green Star Polyps that have branched or been fragged from my huge mother colony, and they deserve new homes. Please forgive the pics, I only have my iPhone to work with!
Located in Chattanooga, TN. Willing to meet locally, and also willing to ship via FedEx. Should...
Hi all. My gsp has been closed for a week and a half. I got it 3weeks ago and as soon as he went into tank all polyps extended and stayed like that for a few days. Then they retracted and haven't come back out. Some mornings I can see the whites of the polyps peeking through but when I get home...
Hi everyone. I have a new tank that went through rough cycling. I added 2 clown fishes and few corals. After a couple of weeks I got Diatoms in my tank. Than I picked up some cleaning crew and I totally killed the white color in my light. I have never had red or green on cause the tank is new...

You're going to have to bare with me... This is my first ever fish tank and I will be making all the mistakes!
The story starts after seeing my brother in law's planted fish tank, and after lockdown started I had been working from home (and will be doing...
I have a rock of gsp that curls outward when my light comes on. it is in medium flow area and bottom of my Nuvo 10. You think it's getting too much light?
So I am think of setting up a tank filled with all the coral that people class as invasive, things like gsp, Xenia and mushrooms. The sort of things that I don't want in my main reef tank. I currently have a cycled fluval 13.5 with a pair of clownfish and live rock, bare bottom. Been cycled a...
Hi so I am having an issue that I never thought I would say, but something is causing my gsp to stay closed and I don't understand what.
The gsp had been in my tank for about a week and has been happily open until the last 2 days when it hasn't opened. It is in a medium flow medium light spot...
Can anyone help me figure out what this thing in my green star polyps is? I just noticed it yesterday when a hermit crawled up in the gsp and seemed interested in it.
I have a question that keeps nagging me. I'm considering encouraging one or more of my corals to grow on the back glass and overflow, but I'm decidedly undecided. I want your opinions and experience. I may not follow your advice, but I might, maybe.
The tank is not tall and one of my...
Hey guys, i had a tank crash last week because of a failed return pump. Whole tank went cloudy and i lost some corals, fish and inverts. The one coral that didnt make it was my whole colony of anthelia. 8x6 inch colony disintegrated into a smelly mush on the 3rd day of the crash. I only got it...
Hi guys,
I am about to get my first soft coral and have decided i want to have GSP covering the back of my tank.
For you folks this is probably a ridiculous question but whats the best way to get it to grow on the back? Do i sit the frag plug on a piece of rock toughing the back of the glass...
