I ripped out piles of gsp this week. It was satisfying. Moving into polyps shortly. I can't wait to purge my tank of these.

Bonus find is all the galaxy colonies I have growing. I'll have to set them up a space in my refugium so I can sell/trade them off to new homes.

I'm also now on my third attempt to catch the emperor. It's time for him to move on from the tank, but the problem is he knows what's going down so he's become extra good at hiding. One day...one day...

I had to remove a butterfly fish from my big tank recently. I knew from the time I put him in that I would have trouble when it was time to get him out, but I needed him to serve a purpose (which he did well) so I tried to ride it out as long as I could, but it became time this fall. I had to use the clear birdnetting that you sometimes see used for tank lids. I had to cover the rocks and close off all the gaps and caves. I ended up using all of it and it still took me 1.5 hours but eventually he was cornered and had no further escape route.

Or you could try a fish trap. The way I have my tank in my wall without front access means I can't use a trap to remove fish from my big tank. But otherwise those are said to work well..
