purplefirefish Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 put the gsp in the sand bed until it gets fully adjusted. then move it to the rocks, it is a darker green with long polp extension that stuff grows like a weed. hes happy where hes at lol... within like 30 minutes of putting it in the tank it looked like this... the other 2 not looking as happy... mushrooms may need to be moved before they get blown off the rock haha Link to comment
BJK2 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 looks pretty nice! The GSP's green things will get longer if they have more flow over them for some reason.. One of my favorite corals by far. I'm digging the 30 long, wish I had some of my old dry goods... shouldn't have sold them for car parts.. Link to comment
