    Anyone think these are green star polyps too.
    Brighter than my other ones. But they have little "feelers" on the sides of all the arms.

    Figured as much just this was the first variation like this I have seen. And of course scooped it up. Two aussies were standing next to us and I swore they would have gotten it if I didn't.

    Thanks steve.

    It certainly looks like GSP to me. Except the tentalces (if thats what you could call them) are more hair like. Mine are a bit thicker.

    I've got 4 different variations of GSP in my tank.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Awesome, I might end up with three different kinds because I really like the look of the long tentacle ones that flow around like tall grass. I got this one for the bright neon-ish color.

    Do you have a picture of each kind? I would love to see them out of curiosity

    I honestly think it looks more like a clove polyp from the pic... Here are two ways to find out... Does it have a stolon? The purplish mat GSP has when it contracts? And do the "fingers" of the polyps look feathery?


    EDIT... Upon further inspection I think I am on the GSP bandwagon...

    I don't think I have pics of each one individually. I'm ordering a new charger for my camera today so I will have to take some updated pics of the tank. I added some rock so you'll give me a reason to get some new pics. I'll post them here then start my own thread with tank pics.
