i put mine on the sand bed and when it grows over the sand i cut it off for frags or i let it grow onto other rocks for more frags

This is why many reefers don't like GSP. You could try pulling the rock out and cutting what you dont want off or try cutting it away in the tank.

I put mine up next to the glass so I can just cut it and slide a razor blade under it when it starts growing on the glass.

My 2 cents;Do you have to much water current blowing directly at it? I try to keep things like this is a less turbulent area.

You can try to make an island with it so it doesn't go everywhere.

Take a razor blade too it. Sometimes it will peel of the rock.
