New to corals....

How long will it take these corals to get to 5in (if they are 2 to 3in when I get them)?

How would you remove "Polyps" from an area that you don’t want them?

Given good lighting, healthy & happy coral, as well as moderate feeding; I will guess a couple of months; however, I don't really know (probably not overnight ).

What type of polyps? All corals have polyps, however, I think you mean Zooanthids or mushrooms; which requires a razor blade or a blowtorch (or other polyp killing device).

So you would cut them at the base or peal them off?
When I was talking about “Polyps” I was thinking Colony Polyps (I think that’s what you call them) .

How do you supplement Iodine, Strontium and Trace Elements (and if you can test for them some how vary new to corals)?
Also what is a good Calcium supplement?

Thanks!

Another question (still need the other one answered)...
Do you need to acclimate the corals to the water?

OK! lol lots of questions.

Now iv been reading up on plankton...

Micro-plankton is not one type of plankton (so when a site says feed micro-plankton what is it talking about?).
Phytoplankton is a plant (corals are carnivores right?).
