    One of my crabs was wondering all over this SPS coral I have and the mat looked weird. I was just wondering if it was supposed to look like that or why it does?

    Star polyps will do that every once in a while. It has either overgrown something or decided to grow out in those knobs.

    Pull the rock out of the tank and peel the GSP off.

    Is GSP an SPS coral? I never thought about it like that, but I guess it is...small polyps...encrusting. lol. I always thought of it as a softie for some reason.
