As it spreads it starts as a thin, purple mat and the polyps grow out of that mat as it matures/grows. Pictures would be the only real way for you to get an answer. Is it growing anywhere else, or just at the gsp? What does it look like?

its growing a bit yea. it dosent come out in picture and it looks like its only on the GSP, but i picked it up just now and shook it around and most of it just came off, i think its just crap that stayed on it that was floating around

how much flow do you have and how big is your tank? Sound like you might not have enough flow if the algae could just be shaken off.

scrub it with a toothbrush. i mean, dont go insane on it of course, but just enough to get the algae off. i had to do it when i first got mine cause it came out of a nasty tank. dont worry, itll live. theyre really tough.
BTW, GSP isnt an SPS.
