Removing GSP from a piece of rock

[wantsummora acropora]

Good Morning Reefers! I have a medium sized rock with GSP on it. I would like to remove the GSP and return the rock to my tank for repurposing. Any suggestions?

Not a quick method but I'm doing that now. Have several buckets of rock from a tank breakdown soaking in bleach solution. How long depends on what it takes to dissolve all the coral tissue. Next I'll let them dry in the sun, then they'll be ready.

Yeah, that is my nuclear method. I was hoping to save the bacteria but it is what it is.

When I had GSP, I pulled it manually out of the rocks. For some wouldn't come off, I used a pry bar and hammer to break the piece of rock that still had the GSP. I still have the ricks but no more GSP. Hope this helps.

If you tease up the edge, you can just peel it off on most cases.

I tried that. It wasn't that easy. I soaked it in bleach water overnight and it came off easily with a blast from the water hose.

You should get a coral beauty. Mine devoured a colony in 2 weeks.
