More soft corals
Went back to Everything Fishy today and picked up some metallic green star polyps, or GSP's. These are also soft corals and very hardy and good for beginners.
I've heard GSP can take up to a week to open, but mine opened in an hour or two after being introduced. The purple is the underlying mat and the grassy green polyps grow on that. As the coral grows, the mat expands.
Whole tank shot.
Moved the zoos, or green button polyps, to the other side at the base of the pod pile and scrolled rock. As you can see, they took the move ok. The algae is shadowing out half of the polyps. Going to trim some back tomorrow.
I'm going to enjoy watching these corals grow and colonize, especially the zoos as they take over the pod pile.
