Careful with button polyps, they spread like crazy!

I used to have a 12 gal. aquapod, and since upgrading to my 55 I have decided to go with all sps/lps and zoas. One of the few holdovers left from that tank is a rock of turquoise blue palys that is absolutely stunning in actinic light. Unfortunately I just don't have room for them in the tank, and in the process of moving around some coral I just threw it in the corner behind my rose bta. Man, that thing spreads, drops frags, and they attach to the rock fast! If I put a small frag of them close to other stuff they burn them, so these are to be placed carefully. I'm posting this because tonight I did something usually reserved for pests like aiptasia, I fed them some kalk paste! Not the whole rock, mind you, just the small frags that dropped and attached to rock that I have reserved for future sps frags. I hope to sell or trade the mother colony, and if I can't do that I'll put it in a frag tank eventually as I have gotten local interest in frags. I just couldn't believe I kalk pasted something that isn't usually a pest.
