Re: polyps
Most polyps will spread fairly easy.Just keep the water quality where it should be.

Re: polyps
Are you sure they were polyps and not aiptasia? Because aiptasia's the only thing I've seen growing on the rock at my Petco
 .They spread relatively quickly. You should see a difference within a month or so, if your water quality is good. And they don't require strong lighting.

Re: polyps
Polyps is pretty general,any idea on type of polyps?
Like Biff,I hope they are not aiptasia or majanos anemones.

Re: polyps
GSP grow like a weed,they spread fairly quickly to nearby rocks.I keep mine isolated on the sand bed.It doesn't stop them from spreading across the sand though.I may(eventually)cut some off and stick them on the back glass and overflow towers.
