I know they're hard to make out. Anyone know what those little star things are mixed around the Zoas? I feel like I'm going to have a problem here. Thanks for any help!

Hard to make out but I would wager clove polyps and hopefully not blue clove polyps. Sarcothelia (spreads like fire like so) vs. Sympodium. But honestly don’t feel like I can get a good enough look at them.

Brown
 
Could just be lighting as brown seems to be predominant in the other corals. But they look like “clove polyps” of some sort
