Care
Green star polyps are one of the fastest-spreading corals in the hobby. Mount on an isolated rock — given the chance they will encrust over everything nearby. They tolerate a very wide range of conditions, which makes them a good beginner coral.
Acclimation
Float the sealed bag for 15 minutes to equalise temperature, then drip acclimate for 30–45 minutes before placing. Start the coral low in the tank and move it up over a week or two if it wants more light. A freshwater or iodine dip before it goes in is cheap insurance against hitchhikers.
Photographed under blue/actinic aquarium lighting, which is how most reef tanks are viewed. Colours will look different under white light.
