I would update lighting before doing anything, IMO

Ok fine, but what are some hardy polyps???

I have yellow and zoos.... They are pretty harty from what I am told.

 

[jhov2324]

well have you experienced any problems with them, is there any special care for them besides lighting,

mushrooms are very hardy, no extra care needed.

Star polyps are incredibly hardy and spread very quickly. They also require no feeding.
As others said, mushrooms and zooanthids are also a good choice. I've found yellow polyps to be kind of finnicky at times, but it could have just been my water quality.

yeah id have to agree with star polyps
and after you get your tank set up if they dont open you know you have a big prob

I keep green mushrooms and clove polyps without any problems. The cloves have been spreading very quickly.
