I got this coral at our monthly meet as a freebie with a purchase of other corals and I have no idea what it is. I'm sure I was told, but I was just excited to get home and put my corals in the tank + we had a tornado warning with a sighting not too far away.

The base of the coral is vibrant purple and it's hard. I didn't expect anything coming out of it and 10 minutes after in the tank these beautiful green flowers started showing up and this morning it was blooming.
Picture 1st was taken with a flash when just actinics were on.
2nd pic day lights on

its green star polyps (GSP). it grows pretty fast and some dont like it because of its tendancy to spread all over what ever it is near. i just place live rock rubble around mine so when it spreads i just take the peices of rock to the LFS for credit. you can also peel the purple mat off in peices and rubber band it to rock to make frags
