Gil2Gil Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Went to LFS yesterday to purposely pick up some GSP. They swore up and down it was GSP, but I really do t think it looks the same. For one it looks a lot more dense with polyps and it doesn't look like GSP when it's closed up. Any ideas what this could be? Link to comment

markalot Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Galaxia, one of the meanest lps corals you can get. Sweepers can be up to 12 inches long. Beautiful coral, just too damn mean. Link to comment
Gil2Gil Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Crap. Should I get rid of this? Link to comment
PieMan2k Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 You can keep it or get rid of it. I have a variety of it in my dad's 55 it's just kept away from the other corals, be careful because It can and will sting other corals if put too close. It also grows quickly so you might want to frag often if your concerned about size. Sorry for the bad pic but here is mine They do look beautiful just Very hostile twards others. Link to comment
ajmckay Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It's up to you... But it grows fast and has a potent sting. If you've got the room it's a beautiful addition but if you have a small tank might need to get rid of it. Check it out a little after lights out for some crazy sweepers... Link to comment
ndrobey Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I assume you have a nano tank. 12 inch killer sweepers in a nano is a problem - you can't put anything near it and that takes up way too much room that could be used for other corals. I'd take it back. Link to comment
Gil2Gil Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Space is an issue in a 5gallon pico... That really annoys me. From GSP to Galaxia. Huge difference. I contacted the LFS to see if they'd swap it out. It's opened up and doing great... Lol ass Agreed. He's going back on my next trip. There is only a zoa frag in there at the moment. So I'll separate them till I take the Galaxia back. What a bummer. Lesson on my end: don't follow LFS guy advise. Link to comment
Gil2Gil Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Sure enough. Check out the long sweeper I caught just now. Sign of a healthy tank???? He was just added last night and already so active. But, he's going back Oops. Here's the other pic. Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Daammmnnn Beautiful coral though Link to comment
BulkRate Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Yep... I've been tempted to add this one a few times but since it sends out sweepers so readily it's just plain "nope" until I get around to upgrading to a tank large enough to give it room. I swear galaxia reacts to even a harsh look. By trying to sting stuff. Link to comment
