GSP & Yellow Polyps
I got these guys because everyone talks about how they spread real fast. I've had them for over 4 months, and still nothing. All my parameters are good, they are always open and looking healthy. Just doesn't spread. Why?

They might need more food or more light. What are your water parameters? What food goes into the tank?

The ammonia should be measuring zero, but the level is low enough that I guess I wouldn't worry. What are the alkalinity and calcium levels?
You could consider target-feeding the yellow zoanthids to see whether that helps. Also, what are you using to measure SG? This article might help with checking its accuracy: http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-06/rhf/index.php
