I had 3 of these come in on a piece of live rock 3 years ago.. They are about 1/4" tall..
I've had green star polyps, these don't look like them and they're a lot smaller. Any guesses??

If it's single stalked and runs on a rhizome like mat, I'd have to guess some other sot of Clavularia or Anthelia. I don't think I've seen a green Anthelia before, though (not that that means anything;)).

I have some just like that but much darker green i'm curious to what you find out. I was basically just calling them a different form of GSP.

It looks like GSP to me. There are a bunch of different variations of green star polyps. Brown, green, starburst, branching, etc.

Take a turkey baster and blown on it so it retracts and we can see the mat....but I'm sayin that they're certainly gsp.
