    I picked up a frag at my lfs they were all opened up and looked like star polyps, thats what they sold them as. When I got home all the polyps were closed and instead of a mat there are tubes for each polyp. Any body know what kind of coral this is?

    thanks mission, after you told me that I looked it up and it said it is often mistaken for star polyps.
