**__ The Affects of Different Lights on Green Star Polyps __** How do different types of light effect the growth of green star polyps?  · Green Star Polyps · Razor Blade · Scissors · Cement Plugs · Reef Glue · Latex Gloves
 * Common Name : || Green Star Polyps ||

 * __ List of Materials __**


 * __Process of our experiment__**


 * Cut** **Corals:** We will cut the coral into sections and glue them on the plugs.
 * Keep/Identify Corals:** We’ll put three pieces in each section of the tank with high light, natural light, and low light. We’ll keep our polyps on the same rack grouped with the same plugs.
 * Data Collection:** We’ll measure the amount of polyps under the different lights every week and record our data.


 * __Procedure:__ **
 * <span style="font-family: Century; mso-list: Ignore; msofareastfontfamily: Century; msobidifontfamily: Century; msolist: Ignore;">1. ** Cut corals into 9 different sections approximately the same size.
 * 2. **  U se the reef glue to adhere the corals to the plugs.
 * 3. ** Mark the corners of the plugs to identify your teams coral.
 * 4. ** When the glue has settled place three plugs in natural light, three plugs in high light, and three plugs in low light.
 * 5. ** Observe growth.

__ ** Observations ** __ **Week One-** Not much change only some growth on the natural light and high light but low light didn’t have any growth. **Week Two**- High light has two out of the three samples growing well but the third seems to be having problems due to a gluing accident. Low light samples seem to be struggling and natural light has two happy corals and one not so happy coral. **Week Three-**The high light corals seem to be thriving accept for the one that was glued down. Low light corals were all dying and the natural light corals had some growth and were happily growing.
 * Day 1: No Changes so far. = ) <1224541718 * Not Sure if I did this okay... =**


 * Week Four**-Two out of three high light corals are still growing, and have grown atleast 1/4 of their original size. Low light corals are all dead and natural light corals had little growth.


 * Week Five-**Not much change accept a little growth in two of the three high light corals and it looks like there may be life on the third plug. The low light are just about dead but the natural light has two growing coral but the third is smothered in glue and is dying.


 * Week Six**- Two of the high light corals have almost doubled in size and it looks as if the third one grew a little as well. The low light are dead and one is missing but it is safe to say that the lack of light is responsible for that. natural light corals have two out of the three that appear to be happy while the third looks to be dead.
 * Week S3v3n- Most of the corals are dead...but as just a side note...IT WASNT RICHIES FAULT!!!! But the ones living are good = )**

**NO ACTUAL DATA and NO UPDATES SINCE DAY 1 0/20 Polyp Counts? 15/20 Still No polyp counts? 15/20**
