Green star polyp

[rpate2]

Has anyone ever experienced a dark green hair like growth on a green star polyp? The polyps are withdrawn in a little bald patch and in their place it almost looks like green hair algae growing instead???

Definitely looks like GHA

GHA I had a bad outbreak that killed all go my star polyps. I think it just choked it out

I just had this same problem and what I did was a 50/50 dip with peroxide dip. Killed all the Gha. now Gsp look great now.

It certainly looks like GHA, only it's nowhere else in the tank. I'll try the dip though, thanks for the advice

the gsp tends to trap detrius so is a perfect growing spot for gha, u need to give it a good blast with a turkey baster every few days to stop the build up and you should get it back under control : )
