Be been giving it half a capful of dts reef plankton every other day, I have a 50 gal tank...is he getting enough food?

You don't feed it. It will take over your tank with lights alone.

Rule #1 of keeping fish: Don't believe everything your LFS owner tells you lol.

Agreed, Green Star Polyps (GSP) is a highly photosynthetic coral. Any additional nutrients it needs can be pulled from the water column without spot feeding.

That coral can become somewhat of invasive, so don't put it on any rocks you don't want it to eventually cover in full.

Yeah it's getting big already. So I don't have to do anything and it'll be healthy??

Nope, GSP doesnt need actual feeding, the water column and the lighting is all it needs.

 

[Cantareadio]

What's a water column?

 

[carey]

The actual water in your tank.
