Welcome WWest... If you are talking about Zoanthids, they spread somewhat qickly all depending on where they are in your tank and the water conditions.

Hi Wwest,
This is my favorite forum! Where are you from in OH? I grew up near Canton but live near Raleigh, NC now.

yes, zoanthids will spread on there own, no need to manually propagate them by cutting.. :)
