Pretty Little Polyps: Green Star Polyps vs. Clove Polyps!

[AlyciaMarie Verified Admin]

Love them or hate them, their presence in our reefing world is undeniable! Sometimes referred to as "beginner coral," both of these guys have the potential to get out of hand if you're not careful. But in my personal opinion, GSP and Clove Polyps can both add beautiful color and flow to any tank. Which do you prefer?

I'm on team gsp. It reminds me of grass, except it is in the ocean!

Love both of them but I feel they spread too easily out of control when you get the tank where it needs to be. I know putting them on their own island is fine though :grinning-squinting-face:

Both ...... but only have gsp on the back wall of the 300G.

GSP is always a wow factor for visitors. That's a big reason why I always keep an isolated patch.

GSP all the way. I do have some clove polyps too

My gsp branches over to rock and anything else. But they are cool looking and easy to keep. Just have to be active and prune them regularly.

GSP for sure. They glow brilliantly under blue LED lights.
