Ed Hahn Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 How have other corals reacted close by to this coral? I am wondering if its a type of anthellia (clove polyp)? Starburst is very aggresive to sps. Anthellia can curb tooth corals(galaxia). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 New pix Sorry if some of them are blurry but it is the best I could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 It is hard for me to get a clean shot of the root structure of these polyps due to the fact that they are in the back corner of the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 ED: No I haven't noticed my other corals reacting at all to these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hmmm i had some clove polyps that had the exact same type of growth structure. I think you've got a type of clove polyps there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Yea I second that!! Definitely look like some type of clove polyps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 They do resemble cloves more than anything else. Maybe that is what they are. I should just take a frag of it to some of the meets, if it would open that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big24kid Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I have these in my tank also. They grow really fast and can cover rocks in days if its the same stuff. I got mine on a rock from a friends tank who had it growing out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chorse Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 From the picture I would say clavularia varidis. The common name is brown star polyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Would you want me to bring frag in so you can see. I have thought that before but then when people see first hand they change their minds. Not saying you are wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
