this post makes me lol :D

I'll just say this, Green Star Polyps (GSP) are great beginner coral. Mostly IMO because they will let you know easily when something is not right (they are pissed) because they will not come out! :)
+They are pretty fast growers.

I would get a frag and cut it in half and glue it to the back wall of your tank, then as they grow and take over they will give this sweet backdrop! :D

Oh and, any kind of lighting in the Blue Spectrum (15k+, Actinics, 454 nm wavelength) will all make the colors very vibrant. Just depends on what type of lighting your getting.

Remind me what kind of light you have now? It might be okay for GSP.

25 watt with 6000k i think white? but it doent fit my tank it too small i need a size of 48 inches

I don't have much light on my tank (4x54w T5s on a 125gallon) and my GSP are growing like crazy! They seem very, very easy to grow and keep. I had an urchin chew away a path a few months ago, and it's pretty much grown back already. I've got some up high, some low almost in shade, and some in strong flow, all are doing well.

 

[Mandarin66]

but how much flow? and guess whut? i have T8 lighting

 

[ErinCahir]

And to answer your question earlier, they are not zoas.

 

[Mandarin66]

Moving on to the next question: What Type Have Food Should I Feed Them?

 

[BL1]

You don't feed them, they're photosynthetic

 

[Mandarin66]

but still i want to feed them :D

 

[Ulta]

Well then that would be like trying to feed the grass in your yard... people might consider you "special"
