Xenia or Majano?

[JerseyDrew]

Found this guy blooming on my live rock. Any idea what it is?

Not majano, cant tell if its xenia though. Something that forms a mat though

 

[Crabs McJones]

Definitely not majano. Looks like green star polyps or clove polyps of some sort.

Do you already have xenia in the tank? If so then I'm in the xenia camp, but if not it may be some sort of hitchhiker coral that came in on your live rock.

Does it have a skeleton or a soft base?

 

[WLDSHARK]

That looks like green star polyps.

+1 on looking like GSP

Appreciate the help everyone! Just got home from work so apologies for not answering. I don't have any existing xenia in the tank, only this supposed hitchhiker. I was searching xenia and gsp and i can't defintley see some resemblance to GSP. I've never touched it so not sure if it has a soft base or skeleton. Definitely looks like they pulsate if that helps anyone.

If they pulsate it's xenia. It can overrun your rocks like GSP if not isolated, but from the looks of the size of the rock it's on that could be tough.

Alright, after further research , it defintley isn't pulsing as I described. Well, atleast according to all the xenia videos on YouTube. It definitely is GSP. Found a bunch of similar pics online . Thanks everyone!
