Green Star Polyp Frag

Green Star Polyp Frag (GSP)
Pachyclavularia violacea

The Green Star Polyp (GSP) is a reef tank classic—bright, fast-growing, and visually striking. This hardy soft coral features vibrant neon green polyps that wave gently in the current, extending from a rich purple mat (coenenchyme). Whether you’re looking to cover rockwork, back walls, or isolate it on a frag plug, GSP brings brilliant movement and color to any reef setup.

Perfect for beginners and advanced hobbyists alike, this coral thrives in a wide range of conditions and grows rapidly when happy. With time, it can encrust surfaces, creating a flowing carpet of green reminiscent of underwater grass fields.

Care Level: Easy
Lighting: Moderate to High (enhances color and growth)
Water Flow: Moderate to High (encourages polyp extension and deters algae buildup)
Placement: Isolated rock, back wall, or substrate (to control spread)
Temperament: Peaceful but fast-growing — may overtake nearby corals if unchecked
Feeding: Photosynthetic; optional feeding with phytoplankton or coral foods may boost growth
