I am wondering why the tips of my frogspawn that are green seem to be changing to pink? Any ideas?

Also wondering if someone can ID this coral for me thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that first pic appears to be a hammer coral.
Here's a pic of my frogspawn for reference.

I like corals...
That first pic is a hammer coral. And the reason it's multi color is because its a "multi color" branching hammer. I have one just like it.
Second is a Green Star Polyps. With that coral I would isolate it on a rock in your sand bed or it can take over.

How bad can it take over cause I kinda was hoping to fill the top of the rock there and I was thinking hammer coral cause they have the shape of the tips must of been mislabel at LFS
Keep the gsp isolated to its own rock and you can prune back as it spreads on sand. Otherwise it'll take over rock work and is a pain to eliminate.

If it spread will it spread around other coral like my orange brain I have by it? Or will it smother it?
Same little frags 4 or so months later (second pic)
I personally haven't pushed my luck with it. Had a buddy with a toadstool that it started growing up the stalk before he had to cut and trim it back.

So something like this?
September 2015 (second pic) to Now (first pic)
Moved it to my fuge currently (14 gal biofuge I call it. Haha)

Just keep a lil space between rocks and you can trim it once hits sand before attaching to any nearing rocks. Looks good to me from what I can see.
