Jules Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Do yellow polyps normally move around like an anemone? I am pretty sure that some moved just wondering if it is a normal occurrence. Here is a before when it was on one rock and after and looks like some polyps jumped off the rock. (laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr S Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They are famous for spreading around in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I hope that is okay, will they bother many other corals? I isolated the xenia but not that one. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They wont really bother ar harm others as far as I know-They just grow and keep on growing and can take over rocks-just make sure you watch and scrape or trim back as needed/wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dee77 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have allot of yellow polyps if anyone wants to get some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 I should probably give away the rock that was given to me when a couple more move off of it then. Sort of like pay it forward I really like them but don't want them to take over, scattered would be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBoy Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I hate those things! I use to have them and they spread out of control. When i switched tank i made sure they didnt go into my new tank but thats just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have as strong of a light as most so the rest are okay but those yellow ones just love the moon light so they tend to be open more than the others.
