    On the same rock as one of my corals I have another coral growing, any one know what this is?

    Should I try to brake the rock in half to prevent the coral on the left from taking over?

    Green star polyps in second photo. The coral on the left looks like it could be a clove polyp.

    You could to keep the corals separated.

    Yup, and they both should spread like weeds.

    Thank you guys. Just broke off the Green Star and moved it closer to the light. Hopefully they will grow faster now.

    The rare and elusive Green Star Polyp. I think they look real nice under good lights, but some people don't like it because it can spread really fast.
