If you are talking about the coral located in the center of the pic... then it looks like green star polyps to me.

Yes I did, sorry, got excited!!!!

Cool, thank you.

Now Next question, how do I take care of it lol

My tank is only like 3-4 months old, this was supposed to be just a chunk of LR from another tank....... I was only planning on Fish for a while ( 9-12 months )

I had some of this on a piece of LR I got from the LFS. It did really well for awhile... until my nitrate levels creeped up.. It didnt seem to need a whole lot of lighting, my 48" PC 130W coralife did pretty well.

are green star polyps good to have?

 

[Alarmguy66]

If they are, then my tank is doing GREAT!!!

They are an easy to take care of coral. Dont need huge amounts of light or flow. Enjoy!

They'll eventually cover any rock you let them get close to. Mine are spreading at about 1-2 cm each month. They really don't need any "care"... just good water quality.

They prefer the bottom of the tank and low water flow. They're easy to take care of if you just leave them alone. Mine started on a rock at first then I found a small colony on the back of my tank.

Hah I've got mine in my ten gallon with 18 watt 50/50 light. They are pretty near the surface, but still they could survive on bottom.

Well I have 4x 54w T-5 so maybe they will live

Not holding my breath as this tank is so new
