Clove Polyps touching SPS

[Baconbandit]

i bought a small frag(3 papaya clove polys) a few months ago, now it's pretty much taken over a rock also has stylophora and a monti cap mounted on it. has anyone had experience with cloves polyps touching sps? will they eventually get to a point where they wont try to spread onto the cap or stylo?

There's a tank thread somewhere in this forum where the guy has a tank filled with blue clove polyps and they don't cause problems for his many SPS colonies. I believe he thinks they are fairly benign. Until I read that thread I'd hated blue clove polyps. Not only will they spread over a rock quickly; they'll actually spawn in the tank and show up everywhere lol. But if that other guy's tank is fine then I wouldn't worry about it

They will move.

Here is my tank build year to date (old thread). You will see them everywhere. Never had a problem with them. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2104344
