Like many new reefers I bought an aggressive coral that got out of control. In my case it was a branching form of GSP. I still love the look but it spread too far. I fragged some and I'm going to try to "carpet" the back wall of the tank. But that left me with a lot of leftover.
I spent about an hour this morning bent over a rock, carefully scraping and pulling and removing a LOT of GSP.
And I felt guilty.
Which is ridiculous, while corals are animals they don't have a central nervous system or brain.
Anyone else feel guilty for killing corals or is it just me?
Question: Now what do I do with the rock? Do I need to treat it like it's a new live rock that might have dead stuff on it? Do I just rinse it off really well to get all the dead stuff out of nooks and crannies?
