Description

Star Polyp – White Spot: Vibrant Green & Easy for Any Reef Tank!

Add a splash of dynamic green to your reef with the captivating Green Star Polyp. Known for its waving polyps, this soft coral is perfect for beginners and seasoned aquarists alike.

Overview

The Green Star Polyp (*Pachyclavularia violacea*), often abbreviated as GSP, boasts striking neon-green polyps that emerge from an encrusting purplish mat. Its star-shaped tentacles gently sway in the current, creating mesmerizing movement in your aquarium. These fast-growing soft corals form a vibrant carpet over rockwork, transforming your aquascape with lush, living greenery.

Care Level

An excellent choice for novice and experienced reef keepers, GSP is remarkably hardy and adaptable. While peaceful towards other corals, its rapid encrusting growth demands mindful placement, ideally on an isolated rock, to prevent it from overgrowing slower-growing neighbors.

Tank Essentials

A minimum of 75 litres is recommended for stable conditions. Maintain water temperature between 24-27°C, pH levels from 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.024-1.026. Moderate to high water flow helps keep its polyps clean and extended.

Diet

Primarily photosynthetic, Green Star Polyps derive most nutrients from their symbiotic zooxanthellae. Supplemental feedings of phytoplankton or liquid coral foods 1-2 times weekly will boost growth and vibrant coloration.
