Green Star Polyp-Pachyclavularia Violacea

Fluorescent Green Star Polyps are easy to keep and make a great beginners coral. They are fast growers and can grow over the live rock and even grow onto the back of the aquarium providing a beautiful backdrop for your reef tank.

Placement: Mount the Fluorescent Green Star Polyps using IC gel glue, or putty, on an exposed rock in the aquarium where they will receive direct flow and light. If you do not want them growing on your your main rock structure, try creating a Star Polyp island by mounting them to one larger rock and placing it as an island in your sand bed.

Feeding: Although symbiotic algae called zooxanthellae hosted within them supply most of their nutritional requirements through photosynthesis, Green Star Polyps do benefit from supplemental feedings of Oyster-Feast, Roti-Feast, cyclopeeze, & sometimes small bits of mini mysis. Target feeding gets the corals fed using less food while keeping your nitrates and phosphates lower.

Lighting & Flow Requirements:
Fluorescent Green Star Polyps require moderate water flow and moderate lighting (PAR 130-250) to maintain their color. T5's, Metal Halides, or LED's can all grow Green Star Polyps when the proper PAR levels are provided. We recommend a 14-20K color spectrum for best coloration.
