So tonight thanks to our wonderful members I have 3 new corals!!!
The toadstool leather and rainbow montipora are attached to squares, my GSP however is not. How do I attach him? Even better would be a way to attach him temporarily as I am moving in about a week and that means new tank, most likely new rock and new placement. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Good to meet some of you, I wish I had spoken to more of you tonight!

I would feel bad about crushing some of it!!! but if you say it will work I trust the input!

Thats the way I have done it and it actually attached in a few days. I am sure others have a better way.

So true, GSP can become a plague very quickly. Under the right conditions, it is very invasive and hard to exterminate... :)

It will spread out across your sandbed and I simply tear it off back at the base of the rock about every 6 months (hence the frags not attached to rocks.)

I've got two adjoining rocks covered with them and I love it. It looks like a manicured neon green lawn swooshing back and forth from the wave action with the Tomato Clowns nestled in it like they would an Anenome.

All the polyps had opening this morning, they were such a beautiful neon green, I can't wait to see what looks like when it spreads out a bit and I can't wait until we get our gold striped maroons, I'm hoping they will nestle in the GSP like an Anenome just like yours do.
