WYSIWYG Green & Purple GSP (small) 001

---

Green Star Polyps (GSP) are hardy, fast-growing, beginner-friendly corals that thrive with moderate to high light, moderate to high turbulent flow, and stable reef water parameters (temp: 72-84°F, salinity: 1.023-1.025, alkalinity: 7-12 dKH). Their rapid spread necessitates placement on a separate rock island or near more aggressive corals to prevent overgrowth of other species. Feeding is not required but occasional nutrient-rich water or coral food can promote better growth and color.

Lighting

Requirement: Moderate to high reef lighting.

Purpose: Essential for good growth and vibrant color, especially the green polyps.

Caution: Too little light can slow growth, while excessive light can cause bleaching and a shift to brown coloration.

Water Flow

Requirement: Moderate to high turbulent flow.

Purpose: Prevents algae and debris from accumulating on the coral's base, which can cause polyps to retract.

Placement: Place in the path of a pump, but avoid direct blasting to prevent the polyps from staying retracted.

Water Parameters

Temperature: 72-84°F (22-29°C).

Salinity: 1.023-1.025.

Alkalinity (dKH): 7-12 dKH (8-10 is optimal).

Calcium (ppm): 400-500 ppm.

pH: 8.2-8.4.

Feeding

Not Required: GSP derive most energy from symbiotic zooxanthellae (photosynthesis).

Optional: Occasional feeding with liquid coral foods or nutrient-rich water can benefit growth and color.

Placement & Compability

Aggressive Growth: GSP grow very fast and can quickly outcompete and smother other corals.

Isolation: Isolate them on their own rock island or on the back wall of the aquarium to contain their growth.

Tank Placement: Can be placed anywhere from the bottom to the top of the tank.
