What Corals Do You Considere Is A Weed In Your Tank

[skylinecsm]

I would have to say are polyps they grow fast and consume a rock in no time. but what about you?

Not a weed as such, but Xenia grows so fast as to be a bit of a pest.

Traded plenty with the LFS but reaching a point where I've no little rock frags left and might have to start buying in some more to keep going. Trouble then is a lot of the free space (floor area) in my tank ends up with little xenia frags growing on, to trade later.

correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought polyps were part of the anatomy of most (all?) corals and not considered a coral in itself?

You are right however I believe he means the Zoo colonial polops. These coupled with Xenia and mushrooms are far the fastest growing soft corals. One of the Members of the Reef club I belong to has just taken apart his 12'x4'x4' tank after the Soft corals beat the SPS in a 2 year battle. Most of the SPS where but in an 8'x3'x4' in his garage to save for the new tank.

I find that xenia is the fastest grower in my tank.

I would have to say either my brown polyps (not sure of the exact species) and my green star polyps. I had a 2X1 inch cube and now it is 4X4 two months later. My brown polyps grew an extra inch (in total area) in one month.

My purple gorgonia is pretty rapid too!
