Nice looking coral!

Thanks!

I have never seen a gsp like this.

It is very unique.

When I get home I will get it off my main structure and give it a cool shaped island.

I agree, I got few of them from bali (many months ago before the ban ) it is Briareum and they called it Metallic Star polyp

Very cool! It very unique compare to the “normal” gsp we see.

I think the purple and type of green had me doubting.

Luck guess Just happy to help out a friend.

That's gonna look sweet! We used to have a rock that resembled a skull and thought it would be cool to make it look like a GSP chia pet.

That looks like a personable fish. We had a yellow watchman and that was one cool interactive fish.
