Native to the Indo-Pacific, these corals encrust surfaces, creating a lush, moving carpet that adds life to your aquarium. They are photosynthetic, deriving energy from symbiotic algae, but also absorb nutrients from the water column. Their peaceful nature makes them a great choice for community reefs, though their rapid growth requires mindful placement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care Level<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Beginner. Green Star Polyps are exceptionally hardy and forgiving, tolerating a range of water conditions. Their fast growth rate, however, necessitates proactive management to prevent them from outcompeting slower-growing tank mates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tank Essentials<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A minimum tank size of 200 litres (50 gallons) is recommended. Maintain stable water parameters with a pH of 8.1-8.4, salinity of 1.024-1.026 SG, alkalinity of 8-12 dKH, and temperatures between 24-27\u00b0C (75-80\u00b0F). Moderate to high lighting and moderate to strong water flow are ideal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Primarily photosynthetic, Green Star Polyps benefit from supplemental feedings of phytoplankton or other small particle foods to support robust growth and vibrant coloration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why Buy From Us<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We offer healthy, aquacultured Green Star Polyps, ensuring sustainability and resilience.
