About

Green Star Polyps (GSP) are a popular soft coral known for their vibrant green polyps that extend from a distinctive purple mat, creating a striking visual in a reef tank. They are considered very easy to care for, tolerating a range of water conditions and light levels, making them excellent for beginner reef keepers. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, GSP thrives with moderate to high lighting and good water flow, growing rapidly and encrusting over rockwork.
