Hello!

I received some frags from my buddy's LFS and have had these for a about two months. I'm thinking of letting it take over the back wall of my ten gallon nano, but would love to actually know what they are before I do. They have a purple mat with green polyps but are much smaller than your run of the mill GSP. The polyp tentacles also have more of a feather appearance. Have any idea what they are?

Thanks!

I have multiple frags of GSP that look very different than this one, is this a specific morph? The polyps are maybe 1 cm tall when extended, so just a fraction of the size of regular GSP. It almost looks like some clove polyps with the feathering extensions. But if it really is just GSP I guess that'll do!

My blue lights have come on, otherwise mine would show the brownish color yours does. But mine is not feathery, as @35ppt points out -- just falls under the common "GSP" umbrella.
