help!!! what is this on my star polyps

Looks like sponge to me.

Try to softies forum.

Looks like an invasive species of sponge. A dip in a 10:1 ratio of tank water to hydrogen peroxide (3% solution) for ~20 seconds may kill it off. Exposing it to air may also help it die. Last ditch measure...squirt a tiny bit of vinegar on it wherever there aren't any polyps. If it's a calcium-based sponge, it'll start to dissolve.

(But yes, this is technically the wrong forum. Your coral belongs in the "softies" category, and the sponge isn't an LPS.)
