    this one was labeled as a hammer coral but i'm pretty positive its a bubble coral.... Has 2 mouths.... one has a green tint to it, and the other is a darkish purple to it... are these 2 diff types?

    Right on agreed, IMO. Also blue bubble corals are quite uncommon, they look spectacular!

    Nice! Yea these dont look very blue...ones slightly green the others a maroonish purple. Also i was curious my friend had green star polyps but the polyps had longer tentacles than what mine has. Will they grow longer with time or??

    If your gsp has short tenticles they need more flow.

    Very jealous of that bubble coral!!
