Corals that decide to change homes?

[Tzwizzle]

I'm in the process of setting up a softy tank. I don't mind trimming polyps and corals that try to grow off their island/space via creeping mat. However, I've heard that certain corals will just up and move around (Mushrooms, anemones, ect)

So I'm wondering if these corals will up and relocate.


Kenya tree (heard they might frag themselves by dropping branches?)
Colt Coral (same as above?)
Xenia
Sympodium
GSP
Glove Polyps
Jasmine Polyps
Anthelia

Any others?

Well, my xenias are growing like a weed. Even where I removed it, it has regrown. The Kenya will drop branches and grow where it pleases, and yes, it does the save thing, with a vengeance. Most everything you have there will grow very well.

I started with small to med corals just six months ago, and now I need to re-scape because everything is ridiculously overgrown.

I have a tank full or red mushrooms along with hairy mushrooms, that over populate it's rock and then drop off, flow with the current and take up residence where ever they land and like.

My colt is about 12inch wide, 10 tall and has three big stalks. I've had no drop off of that one, but I wish I would have taken control of the kenya when I first thought it was cute, now, not so cute. It will grow and sting everything in it's way.

This hobby is never boring, and just when you think you got it, you get a curve ball. Good luck, have fun, and read,read, did i mention read up on everything your wanting to do.

Never had a problem with my 12" colt.
Anthelia dropped a few polyps, but they landed in the sand and now live in my fuge.
GSP will encrust on rocks and some will always remain if you try to move the cluster.
Kenya tree is the devil and will drop branches and start growing everywhere. I weed them out by pulling the base of rocks (and throw them in the fuge where they reattach and thrive) but there is seems to be an endless supply of new branches popping up in random places in my DT.
