zachxlutz Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 If you mean Green Star Polyps then yes they are pico friendly, yes the readily available and as far as basic needs, just keep your water quality top-notch. Link to comment

BustytheSnowMaam Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 The advice I received with them is to make sure you don't mind whatever you put them on being completely taken over by them. Tasha Link to comment

Corals attach best on a calcium base. Other things that grow like weeds are purple mushrooms and anthelia. Tasha Link to comment

I've found that if the mat completely covers the coraline, in time the coraline will deteriorate due to the total lack of light. when it deteriorates it ends up crumbling off the glass, causing the GHP that has grown on top of the coraline to end up falling off too. thats my experience anyway.
