GSP or cloves

[Brad Coughlan]

Recently added this frag and I am unsure if it is GSP or clove polyps

Looks more like Clove Polyps to me...a little more white lighting would be helpful for proper ID.

Definitely not gsp, cloves as far as I can make out from the picture. I would put them on an island.

Definitely a clove polyp - gsp doesn’t have the “hairy” polyps like that, and would be a much brighter green.

Are cloves invasive, or slower growing than gsp?
I am definitely putting them on a rock if it is the same speed as gsp

Not as fast, but definitely invasive and harder to remove. Best to isolate it on a rock.

Ya invasive, I have avoided them for that reason and I don’t have personal experience on their growth. However they are beautiful and a lot of people keep them in their tanks. I do keep gsp on an island.

Ok, I will do that

A better pic might help, but it possibly might be pipe organ?
