I added green star polyp.

I just added green star polyp. And its all closed up right now, so i see nothing but bald purple surface. Is this purple color a coraline? or is this purpleness a green star polyp?

Anywhoo, when will they open up and be green?

 

you will get used to seeing the purple. They will open up soon. Give them a day to get adjusted. Mine did the same thing.
After a few months, I thought they had died because it stayed purple and started to droop alot. Turns out, they were moving themselves to a different place.

Good luck, you will love them

 

green star polyps move around??

Any idea what that purple color is?

 

no idea. and I didn't know they moved either. I had glued mine down and it honestly moved. I thought there for a while that they had melted and something was wrong. I asked my neighbor robman to come over and take a look, and when he did, he told me his was doing the same thing. I am still learning with all of this....

 

Not only do they move the MULTIPLY quickly, go by a mini weedeater......LOL

 

never heard or have seen them move..but that purple is the mat they close up into when the lights are out.Its the "skin"they grow from/out of nothing to worry about.some times they close up for periods of time but no big deal..oh and make sure you don`t let debris settle on them that will make them stay closed...HTH..

 

congrats!!!
