The Blue Star polyp or the Encrusting Gorgonian?

 

[juano]

The polyp, I googled a few polyps and it kind of looks like a rainbow star polyp or blue star polyp. Unless they are they same. What do u think?

Thx for the help...

The other coral is green hairy mushroom.

 

[OniTweak]

Yeah its a polyp of some form. Thought the mushie was Encrusting Gorgonian, can't really see that well on my phone.

Clove polyps.

 

[juano]

Does look like a clove polyp as well lol

Does look like a clove polyp as well lol.... When it closes it turns into like a purple blue color.

 

[juano]

When I get home I will take a better picture.

 

[mr_X]

They are blue clove polyps. Google them.

 

[carey]

Yep, blue clove polyps, I have the exact same coral/ very very fast grower by the way.

 

[juano]

Yeah u guys are right, it is a blue clove polyp. I have had it for about a month now and it looks really nice but hasn't grown or spread onto other rocks.

Thx for the help....

+1 on symposium. I have these and they haven't grown that fast. They do light up nicely though
