I have those green polyps too and have no problem with them. Mine trippled in size in the 6 weeks I've had them. But then again....my nitrate level is a tad high. About 40ppm. It doesnt seem to hurt any of the coral or fish. Maybe that particular coral DOES like slightly dirtier water?

I added a three inch rock covered in neons about six months ago. it is on the sand bed away from the other rocks. it's now about seven inches and I just moved it further away as it was only about a half inch from the rocks. I may have to frag it soon.

The 6 g nano is my rehab tank with compact lights. My main tank is a 30g with the nano sol lights at half strength. Everything seems to grow better in the 6g. Not sure what else to do

if it's a bright purple it will be bright metalic green under blue lights. It's very easy. All my GSP resides in a section of my sump

Different water quality
Ya I have these polyps under LED now and are doing well. They are not in my dirty tank as I call it with my xenia which are under halide light but I will frag some and try it there. By the way I know this post is old but its the newest one I can find on this topic as well the search engine is down.
I have the new 5012 ti evergrow lights and you really need to watch these lights. They are fantastic but I don't recommend going over 40% with any of the channels as it is very powerful and my corals do just great under max 40% at 1pm and down to 1% at night before they go off at 10 pm finally under moonlight. These lights are 12" above the water as well and reach the bottom very well. The tank is 90 gal 22 inch high. These green polyps came out the same day I have put them in and are doing well; Parameters; Salinity 1.023 Alkalinity 9-10 dkh Calcium 410 PH 7.8 - 8.1 Iodate = <.03 Iodide = <.03 Magnesium 1400 Nitrates 0 -5ppm Ammonia - 0 Phosphates 0 = 5ppm Water changes 1 time per month, 15-20% thats it. I rely on my skimmer doing its job and remember if you have RO water and are topping that up frequently that is new water in the tank. Saves on salt. |

My GSP used to grwo quite fast when I have over 10 PPM nitrate in my tank. But now my tank has 0 nitrate and phosphate, its growth has slowed down significantly. I feel that this is the kind of coral just like xenia that likes dirty water. My xenia actually started dying after I aimed for ULN system.

I love the look of this covering the overflow boxes on the back of my tank. Takes the unnatural aspect away.
