Green Star Polyps

Green Star Polyps

Briareum sp.

Green Star Polyps form a vivid purple encrusting mat from which bright green polyps emerge in dense, waving fields. Under blue-spectrum lighting they fluoresce brilliantly. Among the most aggressive encrusters in the hobby — easy to grow but difficult to stop — place on isolated rockwork or a tile to prevent them from overgrowing other corals.
