Re: Putter's first tank
Once GSP get establish they will spread like wildfire.I had GSP run over and suffocated just about every small corals-mushrooms,zoanthids,palythoas and yellow colony polyps etc.Right now,I have them isolated but they still want to crawl across the sandbed.Nice coral in all but they are aggressive...the choice is yours.

Re: Putter's first tank
you can keep them in check with Joe's Juice - it kills aptasia, and just about anything else you put it on. Decide the limits of where you want the GSP to stay and turn off your powerheads and dose the line when the GSP get too close. it will kill off about a inch thick line so use it carefully. I like GSP for my FOWLR cuz nothing I keep eats them.

Re: Putter's first tank
wow, maybe a different choice in coral would be best here, certainly don't want it taking over the tank, have some of joe's juice here just in case of a break out of aptasia. Will have to look things over again and see if there is a place to place this thing safely.

Re: Putter's first tank
it really is a great starting coral if planned well, same with yellow star polyps. care needs to be taken with any fast spreading soft coral, like silver tipped (or pulsing) xenia. It seems like the corals we want to grow fast don't and the ones we don't want to spread fast do

Re: Putter's first tank
Will move a rock or 2 around, should be able to find space for it away from the other rocks. Do all LPS sit in the sand bed?

Re: Putter's first tank
no. many like to be in the middle of the rock work. gonis do best in the sand bed, or near the bottom. hammers can be in either place, same with frogspawn. trumpets mid level, bubble corals mid level. Just check with the retailer about each coral you want or read up on them before purchasing. Worst case scenario, ask us and we can give you two or three different answers!

Re: Putter's first tank
LOL thanks doc, the reason I asked is because the ones I was looking at online today all seemed to like the sand bed.

Re: Putter's first tank
One thing to keep in mind.No matter what a web site says or a retailer tells you,every tank is different and you may have to move your choice of coral up or down in the tank to find its happy place.
