Overview
What to know before you buy.
Green Star Polyps (GSP) are a fantastic beginner coral, known for their bright green, grass-like polyps that sway in the current. They grow as an encrusting mat and can quickly cover rocks, creating a living carpet of fluorescent green. Their hardiness and rapid growth make them a reef tank staple.

Behaviour
Green Star Polyp is generally peaceful. Observe during feeding and at lights-out for true temperament.

Keeping invertebrates?
