Sympodium... pretty... but will over take the tank rather quickly

Actually, if its really sympodium, it will grow more slowly. There's another coral simply called blue polyps that grows like a weed. My guess is you have either the pink clove polyp or the blue polyps based on their speed of growth and that you got them as a hitchhiker. I've had a sympodium for a couple of months now, it's attractive, but has not started growing yet.
