Help!!! Tank infested with Green Star Polyps ....

[ShadowHunter]

Hi everybody: Anyone out there has similar experience and how to get ride of them completely ? They are growing everywhere !!! Even onto my Capitata

[ShadowHunter]

I am manually scraping them off the rocks but they grow back within three days ... Sianzzz

[peacemaker]

That's actually a pretty fast growth rate... you feed your reef with steroids? Lol... Reefroids, to be exact. You have to peel off the mat completely or it will continue to grow.

[tunicate]

Can you post some pics to show us?

[ShadowHunter]

Those in "mat" form can be peeled off easily but those growing out from the live rocks .... Headache !!!

[ShadowHunter]

Ok I will try to post a pic

[MadScientist]

Is reefroids that amazing?

[sherman]

They are fast grower.

I use to have it all over the tank.

Lost a lot zoo and monti ,blaso

[spkentchai]

high nutrients = high growth?

[bubblefish000]

if only i can hv such growth

congrats bro

[ShadowHunter]

Sherman: Sorry to hear that. I will start to scrap them off if they start to "burn" the corals. But so far no casualty; maybe I am lucky

[ShadowHunter]

Regarding the nutrient level, my PO4 is at 0.05ppm (tested with Hanna checker) and Nitrate not detectable

[ShadowHunter]

This is the pic of the GSP growing out from no where ... and they are everywhere

[MadScientist]

Haha, you should remove it manually and pass to people eho has getting a gsp infestation

[ShadowHunter]

They actually look very nice under actinc lights, juz like glittering stars in the sky. Manually plucking them out (using a slant pointing pincer) is not easy without breaking or toppling the SPS but I guess that is so far the best solution.

Anybody wants these GSP?

Unless you want to do a di water injection? Would kill them but would pollute the tank. Me? Haha

[Firestarter]

Hi, I am interested in your GSP. Care to pass me some for my nano?

[geckus]

Quite nice, I don't mind some too

[reef garden]

What do you feed your tank with? Your gsp are growing very fast. Wish mine grow as fast too. The long tentacles, luminous ones are so pretty under wave action.

[Lucinda]

Can you publish some photos to demonstrate us? So that we can see and tell the exact solution for it.

[liquidnoise]

Don't mind some of your GSP if you managed to scrape them out.
