Does anything eat them? i got some free a few months ago and its spreading pretty fast. i do not want to remove the rock is there something that will eat them?? i dont have any other coral so thats not a factor.

GSP like somewhat dirty water, so if your SPS are happy, that's probably why your GSP aren't. Count your blessings.

i dont feel like my water is dirty.. i do biweekly 25% water changes and all my levels have been good. though something id note is that i like to run my sg high at 1027-1028

By somewhat dirty, basically I'm saying they probably wouldn't like an ULNS. These are the cockroach of the reef. They WILL find a way.

I've got a patch I keep isolated on a little bit of rubble. I thought I was safe until one day I was observing the tank, and saw a GSP polyp floating past in the current. I'm sure somewhere in my rock, lurking in the shadows, lies the foundations of a colony that will take over my rock scape.

I'd think any fish that readily ate coral would enjoy them.
