I agree it looks like green star polyps or maybe even yellow star polyps I just never seen them turn white before normally they just die off.

+1, looks that way to me as well. Although I have seen a few varieties that are pale in color and are not green, this could be one of those.

I recently moved the tank from one house to another (about 5 weeks) and sadly most of the corals that were already inside the tank died.
This little guy started to grow about 3 week's ago with some other corals.
I don't seem to find much information on how to feed it.
My brother is telling me not to worry about it, that I don't need to feed it. Is this true?
