This is why many reefers don't like GSP. You could try pulling the rock out and cutting what you dont want off or try cutting it away in the tank.

I put mine up next to the glass so I can just cut it and slide a razor blade under it when it starts growing on the glass.

My 2 cents;Do you have to much water current blowing directly at it? I try to keep things like this is a less turbulent area.

You can try to make an island with it so it doesn't go everywhere.

Take a razor blade too it. Sometimes it will peel of the rock.
