Hi Toni217,
 !Yes polyps are good and for zoanthid lovers, very prized depending on the coloration. This is a good thing for you to have and yes they can spread. Congrats! |

You should carefully remove them manually, trying to be sure to not bust the bubbles are you work them loose from the rock.

They are full of spores that will release into the water column and can lead to even more of them spread out across the tank.

Hi Toni
 Welcome to RL! Any chance you can get some pics of the polyps and shrooms?

Two options:
Upload to the Gallery and use the BBCODE with the image or click on the post reply image below the last post here and under the box that you type in click the Manage Attachments button. |

I don't really see it in the picture. If you see more then you just have to keep manually removing them. There are a few thngs known to eat them at times like Emerald Crabs but they are hit and miss.

Cool, it's always nice to get a bonus like this when you purchase something. The really good thing here is they are as hardy as the mushrooms on the rock.
