owen2121 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Please help me ID this not sure if I should scrape it off or it allow it to grow out. It's currently on a shell with a Kenya tree coral. 1 Quote Link to comment
Joevember Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Looks like a pipe organ coral. I haven't ID'd anything like this before, so some other people's input would help. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's currently on a shell with a Kenya tree coral. I would leave it until you can be sure. Looks like some type of clove polyp maybe? possibly Pipe organ. It’s just so small still.

MrObscura Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I thought clove polyps when I saw them. But I'm no expert. 1 Quote Link to comment
owen2121 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 I will let it chill in my tank untill I can confirm what it is, then I can figure out what to do with it. Thanks guys for your input. Quote Link to comment
moose2823 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Theyre called metallic green star polyps, at least by LFS. I think I read somewhere that its a pacific variety of GSP gorgonian. They thrive and grow very quickly as long as you have SOME nitrate and phosphate (not a lot). Quote Link to comment
