    Green Star Polyps.

    This coral is very easy to care for. I have mine in medium flow, and it does not need a lot of light. Although acclimation is easy and this is a very hardy coral, it sometimes seems to have its grumpy days, randomly closed most the day. Then it will be happy-go-lucky and with wide open polyps, the next.

    I thought someone would guess that. I do have some, but that would be too easy. For comparison, this is echinata:

    Ah, if it's not an echinata, than it must be the same as the first guy I'm about to post. :)

    Here's my best three stumpers:

    Likely the same as m2434's:

    This one you'll know if you seen one before. If not, you might be clueless:

    Lastly, I'd love for someone to guess what this guy is exactly, not just a "general" name. It's rather rare in closed systems, and while it's not the most stunning piece, the growth form is weird indeed:
