Are these GSP's?

They don't look anything like my GSPs, not sure what they are though.

don't believe so. doesn't look like the polyps are growing out of a matt, but out of a stoney body. probably some SPS or something.

Not sure exactly how they are supposed to grow. They are attached to a piece of fuji branch LR.
They have protruding tenticles Green in color with flourescent green centers.
The "matt" is a grayish color.
Can anyone identify these for me?

Are you saying this IS a green star polyp?

 

[b bauer]

They dont have a white star just a different version of gsp

 

[b bauer]

Those are what i have. Not green stars just a type of star polyp. they close up at night and have vein's that spreads across the rock. Here are a pic of mine about 250 heads. (opened up) yours look closed.

I have the same in my tank, they came on a piece of live rock, they have spread over the last year, but have not left the original rock they came on, seems they don't spread like the GSP's

Glad they dont spread as much or as quickly. I would like to keep them on this rock.
