Coral type?

[Giancarlo_Flex]

Just picked up a nemo shrimp, a royal gramma and a little coral frag. Does anyone know what this coral is called and how long it will take to grow on my rock. Also tank cycled 2 weeks ago, I currently have two clowns as well. Are my levels good? Thx

That looks like some form of palythoa but I don’t know anything about this particular strain. For the most part they tend to be super fast growers.

Looks more like yellow star polyp to me.

Agree with @MrGisonni, that's yellow parazoanthus.

But you get more money if you call it Yellow Star Polyp. Duh :zany-face:

Are these the kind that can become pests easily? I try to run away from most “star polyps” because of it. They’re a pretty yellow though!

Way slower growing than something like green metallic star polyp. I had them in a tank years ago and they actually stayed on their rock. As for growth speed, I would put it about on par with zoas.
