Button Polyp

Easy to care for and cheap way to fill your tank
| Comments |
Spreads like a weed if you spot feed it. Not too attractive of a coral. Cheap and easy to care for. This was my first coral in each of my tanks just to place something in to watch. I stopped feeding it directly and this seems to stunt its spreading. Kept it in the sand and not on a rock as well stopped the growth.

Cost and care are the two things i like about it.

Color is bland. Will take over spots of your tank if you are not careful.

Great starter coral
| Comments |
These guys are nearly indestructible, and they spread fairly quickly in my system. I see nearly a doubling in polyp count every 6 weeks. Put the rock they come on next to another and you'll soon have a new colony growing on the next rock...try placing a lot of rubble near them and voila you've got frags to sell!!

Great beginner corals!
| Comments |
These hitchhiked in on my live rock and have all survived for 7 months, not even 1 died through the cycle, very fast growing.
|
| Liked about it |
Very big for polyps, some even as big as 50 cent pieces, one of the fastest growing corals in my tank, went from about 10 to 80 polyps in 6 1/2 months, have never had any problems with them, very easy to maintain.

Sometimes will close for days or a week unexpectedly, not the most beautiful coral, most of the time in shades of brown.

Be careful what you wish for!
| General |
If you want an easy coral this is it. I remember the first time I bought this coral all I wanted was a "easy coral".
This coral is fail proof!!! The only problem is it will take over the tank if your not careful! Once it gets going its hard to control. I would def recommend this coral to beginners or for those folks who have a hard time keeping corals happy I would also recommend keeping it isolated. |

Great beginner coral
| General |
This was one of the first corals I tried to keep. It came on a small colony of zoas. In a few months, one head turned into 8. They will act like a Venus fly trap. When a stray piece of food touches the head, it will close up and eat it. Pretty cool party trick. |

Very cheap.
Common hitch hiker, so you might not even have to pay! |

These corals grow at a perfect speed!
Not too fast.
Not too slow.
They're also very pretty.
Kind of like zoas with a longer body thing.
