a green wave?

[roons]

i saw something the other day at an lfs, it was midway up in tank , green , and swayed with the current like grass................i asked what it was and the guy said its a green wave? never heard of this , so i didnt buy it........id rather get it somewheres else frankly.....................maybe its called by something else? cuz i cant find anything by that name..........................i wasnt star polyp or flower pot coral, it was more like grass or seaweed but bright green

1.encrusting gorgonian
2.green star polyp mat
3.briarium(sp?)

these strands were about 3 to 4 inches long with no stars so i think star polyp is out? ive never seen pics of the other 2

[wahshk]

i think it may be a tooth coral, does that flow in the current like grass?

 

[reefez]

Maidens hair? Is it a plant or coral?

 

[roons]

Looks like green star polyps to me from that picture.

 

[roons]

Another vote for green star polyps. Yes there are a few different kinds. Are you sure it wasn't hair algae that you saw at the LFS?
