    So you cant just razer blade scrap them off? or do they release some kind of toxic junk?

    mine was a small frag i put near the back of the tank. it latched on to the side and spread out quite nicely on the glass. it looks really cool and i couldn't be happier with it. hope mine spreads like a menace.

    Here's my Lavender Star Palys. Not only climbing the back wall but the side glass as well. Notice the Zoas going up the back also :)

    But alas I've since removed them. Came off very easy using a razor blade. One large mat to the LFS scored me a Scooter Blenny :)

    Can't you just glue them to the glass?

    GSP is a fast grower.

    I started with about 2 small polyps about a year ago.
    I now have it isolated on a rock about softball size-looks cool alltright.

    That rock is against the backwall, which is covered in thick coralline.
    It hasn't started up the wall-yet.
    I'd like it to stay on the rock!

    I really don't want my backwall with it, but that's just me.
    I could see why you would however-might look cool

    You can seen mine in the back left-fast grower I tell ya!

    oh my gosh Todd, you have some serious coralline growth! I would love to get a hold of some GSP in that color range you had nana! that looked totally awesome! congrats on your scooter - I think the LFS scored on that trade!
