    I call them pink star polyps.

    Wondering what other names pop up. Star polyps are petty much just star polyps- even though alot of them vary a bit in color. I would say green star polyps are most common of all the star polyps though.

    Here's a pic of mine-big rock on the right-their a paly and very aggressive growth wise-they'll choke out anything in their path-totally covered a small frag of zoos I once had-so I keep it away from all the other LR-I call em Lavender Star paly-like green star palys.
