I am starting to put corals in my set up have 3 frags of GSP trying to get one on my back glass and 2 on my rock work. Is there any corals I can use as an natural barrier like torch or hammer coral? I have the GSP on the very top rock so it’s easy to pull but I wanna know if there is any corals that might keep them controlled to one side of the tank.

I'm not aware of any that will keep it in check. Your GSP will need to be trimmed to keep it running over everything in it path.

I thought when I was getting into saltwater I thought there was stinging corals that would keep other corals back I wasn’t 100% sure but where I places them even on the rock work it’s easy to remove

There's some that will "sting" other corals, but unfortunately this isn't a way to control GSP. It will grow around aggressive corals.

If it’ll grow around aggressive corals I’ll be ok with that I just don’t want it to start actually growing over top corals, I have plan on getting hammer and torches mainly
