Green Star polyps are extremely hardy and can survive most reef tank conditions. **// Propagation: //** : Green Star polyps are easily propagated by cutting a section of the purple mat from the main colony using scissors or similar. This mat can be attached to a suitable substrate such as a piece of live rock usually with a rubber band. It will quickly attach to the rock and the rubber band can be removed.
 * //Lighting//**: Will tolerate fairly low light levels, but tend to develop brighter colors under higher intensity lighting. A picture above shows a colony that is lighter in color due to being raise in lower lighting conditions.
 * // Water Current //** : Green Star polyps prefer moderate water motion.
 * // Temperature //** : Does well within a range of at least 74º to 84º F.
 * // Aggressiveness //** : High. Although the coral does not have a stinging capability, it's encrusting growth pattern can lead to rapid encroachment on its neighbors. Mat can be pruned with scissors if it starts to get out of hand. This is one of those corals that some hobbyist regret ever putting in their tank.
 * // Feeding //** : Green Star polyps are photosynthetic and require no feeding. It is unknown if they will accept any prepared foods.
 * // Supplements //** : No special requirement are noted. Normal acceptable water parameters seem to suit it just fine.
 * // Tank Positioning //** : No special requirements other than keeping them out of forceful water flow. They will sometimes grow up the back glass forming a very attractive green backdrop.

week 1 The two star polyps on the circles have 7 polyps both The two the square peices have 8 one one and 5 on the other polyp

week 2 The to polyps on the circles are doing we found them opened up and they both have not grown in size. The other two polyps on the squares have not grown and the smaller polyp has been damaged by have part of the 5 polyps ripped off.

week 3 One of the sar polyps on the circles has grown significantly it has mannaged to grow two new polyps on the colony and the other polyps have gone missing. The polyps on the squares have started to die we do not know why but they have maybe bad water flow or something.

week 4 The polyps on the squares are doing well seem to be growiing quite well no problems with those two. one of the polyps one the circles is completley dead and the other one is still missing.

week 5 The polyps on the squares are doing good even though one of them is not growing as fast as the other. []
