I'm researching coral for a pico aquarium. I really like hammer coral, so that's a definite thing going in my 2.5G aquarium. I've read about GSP. I have a question about it though. I've read that it spreads quickly and one of the ways to maintain it is put other coral around it that sting it to keep it from taking over. What type of coral would A) fit in a pico aquarium and B) contain the GSP.

I don't want anything that'll overrun the aquarium and the other coral, but I love watching it sway in the current.
 
personally i wouldnt put gsp in 2.5 gal, but if you do, put it on a small rock by its self. not touching other rock. and trim it when it starts over growing the rock
 
It will grow over everything so a good place if you’re going to do it is in the back wall where you can trim it and it won’t hurt your other coral(s).
