Pink Star Polyps

[username in use]

I was just wondering how many people have pink star polyps. I got some at an LFS and was wondering because everyone seems to have green.

I've seen lots of shades and shapes of green. Even brown. Pink, not so much.

Pics?

I have pink star polyps too. It's one of my favorite pieces. That picture did'nt do them justice.

i have some too. they arent super mind melting blinding pink, more of a light purple, but still considered pink star polyps.

I usually see them called encrusting gorgonian.

Keep this stuff on a rock on the sandbed, it will take over.

Looks more like a Daisy polyp, just about the same thing but the ones I have seen listed as "Daisy" have longer tubes.

thats the side thats right in the flow, the polyps on the other side are a fair amount longer, the longest about 1inch tip to base.

I have the same species. I love mine and they do grow quickly like stated above. Great coral.

I keep them fairly isolated in the upper middle of the tank. They look awesome in the flow, like a grassy field in the wind.

Here we call it white star pollyps, although its pink.
Theses pollyps grow pretty fast and kill whatever they touch. So keep them away from your SPS bases. Mine is encrusting an isolated rock mixed with the green one what makes a nice contrast.

yeah, they dont see to grow down the rock at all, so i have them upper middle, and they pretty much stay to themselves.
