yeah that's crazy.... I feel the same way about GSP for sale. If anybody wants some, I have a 70gallon tank that is 95% GSP. Hell, I will sell you the whole tank if you want it.

I think for the same reason a specific medicine that you take only targets the infection/virus/bacteria that you are dealing with

Me on the other hand I️ Love GSP if you get rid of it maybe we can work something out to ship!
See I️ even made a temporary setup to prevent the mess from killing my gsp

Is there a reason why only certain corals are affected? Note to self never get blue clove polyps.

I think for the same reason a specific medicine that you take only targets the infection/virus/bacteria that you are dealing with and doesn't kill everything in your body.

Someone long ago explained it to me that Medicine is like a key that only fits in certain locks

I would feel horrible and you would hate me a year later when your entire tank is a thick carpet of nothing but GSP. I will post a pic here later tonight when I get home.

For my main display, its been outlawed. I have some galaxia that looks very much like it, but is a stony coral so there is no spreading.

Treatment worked like a charm. Still blue clove free!! My casualties included some snails (not all), pipe organ coral, and all shrimp that I couldn’t catch. Cocoa worms dropped their heads but they all recovered. Clams were never phased. I pulled my leathers since I read that they wouldn’t make it. So the pipe organ was the only loss I wasn’t prepared for [emoji17]. I did get a red slime/algae bloom. Just treated it and everything has been great since. Glad I did it!

Has anybody done this with a dragonette in the tank? I just added a tiny tank-raised mandarin, and I would hate to put it at any risk in my ongoing battle against BCP.

I am not aware of anyone having issues with any fish because of treatment

My GSP are encroaching into my zoa rock and it's time to kill them. I tried using a soft tipped toothbrush to halt them during water changes, but they spread faster than I could kill I suppose.

I just bought some medication off of amazon (Thanks for the link!). I have a 30gallon tank so I should be careful not to overdose.
