Safe for who?

Peroxide and a toothbrush has worked for me.

Is rock able to be removed from the tank?

What else is in tank?

I like my Green Star Polyps & Red Sea Pulsing Xenia.

How does aptasia x work on gps? I have not seen any data to substantiate that statement. Please provide a link to this study.

Aptasia X worked for me.

As for your "unfriendly" statement/request, here you go. www.google.com

"You attract more flies with honey than you do with vinegar."
@Turnage
Nothing unfriendly about out it. You made a statement that can only be documented by yourself. I don’t see where that is helpful for the reefing community.

Truth & data are not vinegar & honey.

This thread has unfortunately turned into a non-constructive discussion and this will be my last post on it.

@Mrgarthman Please send me a PM if you want additional information on using Aptasia X against GSP.

I think OP wants to keep it because the rock it is on is too big for their tank. You can try breaking off some pieces of the rock with the GSP attached with some side cutters. You probably don't need to try and save all of it since it grows pretty fast.
