My second tank, an IM20, is rather chock-full of GSP. I don't mind it so much, as it's my low-stress, don't-worry tank. And I don't really have a problem peeling back the mat from the rockwork as needed to keep it under control. That said, it would be nice if there were sections of the rockwork that weren't covered with GSP and that would stay that way even without my intervention.

Enter the notoriously aggressive Galaxea. Were I to clear out a spot for it, are the sweepers strong enough to clear out a zone around it, or is GSP resilient enough that even a Galaxea can't hold its own?

Of course, I don't currently have a Galaxea, but Live Aquaria claims to have a pair on Diver's Den, and I have a gift card that would otherwise go to waste, so... may as well?
 
Galaxea would probably do the job really ineffectively but when I got my first galaxea it decimated xenia
