Help with green star polyp to spread

[Ragin]

Dies anyone have any advice on what might help me to get it to spread?

 

[Mr. E Wrasse]

Leave it on a rock and dont touch it. It will spread haha just be patient at first

 

[Ragin]

Ive had it on the same rock for over three months and it hasnt spread any at all yet.

Green star ploys are essentially indestructible. You just need to take care of the tank and it will do well. It will do OK when the rest of the coral struggle. So, how is the rest of your tank? GSP really need no special care.

That's funny I am trying to get mine to stop spreading, they got so bad they were growing up the back of my tank and on the overflow. Finally had to almost break tank down and spend hours scraping them off the rock. My advice is once they start to go isolate the rock they are on otherwise they will take over.

Those GSP also will win any coral war they encounter. It is wise to keep them isolate. I let it grow up a wall. Nice wall cover and easy to harvest. Slide it off near the top and peel off attached to a rock and sell to LFS. A carpet of GSP really pop under actinic or LED

Haha all i've ever heard is it wont stop!! Like everyone says patients my friends tank is covered in it!!

Everything in my tank are diing really well .I would live to get it growing on the back wall once it gets going

Then just wait and it will do well

I love GSP and pulsing Xenia but I have seen too many fellow reefers have them take over their tanks.

The best way the get it to spread is to pray it doesn't then you will be posting asking how to stop it.:help:

 

[BBoley24]

don't listen to these guys. It does take a while before it encrusts the first bit... then it will spread. Like xenia, if you keep it cut... you'll be fine.

Mine hasn't grown that fast either.

I guess I just need to wait a little longer. Just thought I might have something wrong going on
