star polyps..?

[heartben]

i got some star polyps and i dont think they are gsp...
the "tenticle" parts are more a yellow color but the center of them is green... almost like an inverted gsp?
does anyone know what it is? i dont have any gsp to compare it to, and im new...
thanks !

Its more than likely Green Star Polyps. You can take your common perception of what "GSP" is and put it under different lighting and it will look different. There are also different color morphs available.

alright, thank you very much!
i dont care if they are special or not really, i am happy to have them. i was just curious if i needed to know anything special about them if they were.
thanks again!

Naw man, green star polyps are very easy to take care of and eventually will be growing like wildfire. Good luck.

They tend to like higher flow...But will grow in almost any condition..Jim

I dropped a rock on a frag of GSP last night and it still opened up. I think they are impossible to kill.

I have a storage tank for LR, no lighting, just waterflow. I put some LR in there about 2 months ago and I just noticed a 3" patch of GSP, still alive, not happy but it's open...
