Green Star Polyps Kill!

[ski1297]

I have had my GSP for about 3mths now I love them. They grown very fast. I have had two frags made from the coral in the first pic. I fraged them about 4mths ago. They did very good. Pic two is of one of the frags. The last pic is what the GSP did to the coral when they strated to grow around it. I know its not good have have coral right by each other but I want to see what would come of it. What they look like in the last pic is what happened(sp) over night. So if you have GSP do not let them go by other corals that you like!

what you saw is typical of corals trying to be the boss of there area. most of the time, Softies hate hard corals with a passion. You might want to check your carbon and make sure it is up to date. but other than the GSP growing fast and loving to spreading. the only hting to do is make sure any type of hard coral is not close to them.

good point Bill,
you might want to move it some where else and leave it alone, see if it will come back

I love carbon and use it all the time. I put new carbon in every week to 2 weeks. You can see the hole were the polyps were and at one point I could see the flesh of the coral falling off. Does any one know what the hard coral is? The LFS did not know when I got it.
