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

[AlyciaMarie]

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?

Green Star Polyps vs. Clove Polyps!

 

[Gumbies R Us]

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

 

[Sumbub]

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

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

GSP...the sea grass?

Although i did put it on my main structure and then had to remove it

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

 

[Badblackdog]

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

 

[Seansea]

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.

 

[LPS Bum]

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

Agree. But so do arc cloves!
