The funny thing is I got them because my wife likes them too. But this is what will happen in 1 year from now. I apologize for the poor quality of pics. If you still want some I can give you a decent sized rock of them.

I'd take or buy some of them too, I like them !!

Ok let me know when your passing threw Kitchener next on one of your runs and we can meet at the good old 401 & Homer Watson timmies

I've got some frag plugs and some random pieces that I will sell (depending on size) for $5-$15. Ian has the only rock I'm going to let go

I wouldn't mind some as well if you're ever down my way.

I have frags available but I unfortunately don't travel that way except for fragfest.

I have heard that a cup of bleach in the tank will take care of (most) of the BSP.
Items I will never put in a tank again (without isolating from other rockwork:
green star polyps
blue star polyps
brown star polyps
Palys (particularly common green/browns)
encrusting monti (especially brown!!!)
IA's "bonus anemones"
common brown mushrooms
leathers

 

[Greezzy]

Add Xenia to that list.

Also LTS IA's "bonus anemones" lol

Difficult task. It seems that it goes between other polyps. I would try with a toothbrush in large rock areas (where you can) and/or cover small patches with Aptaisia-X.

I’ve removed rocks and used a torch on them, then rinse with tank water.
The real bad ones I just tossed.

Sell off the rocks with the BSP

They are very intrusive, just like my GSP but again the wife likes them, but they are contained

I'd trade for some as well,Lol
