Hello, does anyone have any tips on removing gsp from rock easily?. I know it's supposed to be easy to remove it from flat surfaces in one piece but I'm hoping there's a way to take it off rock work. Thank you!

I haven't found an easy way. The way I do it is using a dental pick I try to get under the mat and then pull as large of a piece as possible off the rock. Scraping back and forth rapidly with the pick will also turn it to mush which is easily sucked out with a siphon. I do this about once a month to keep mine from overtaking my other corals.

Thank you. Yes I bought one of those magnetic frag racks so it can grow it on the wall. I should have got an acrylic one because though because the rock is too porous. I think I'm going to just let it grow on its own to the back wall before removing and just leave alone the rock. I do have a dental pick so I feel brave I'll let you know
