All About The Green Star Polyps or GSP's
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2020
- The coral every beginner needs to try out! They are very hardy and so easy to grow... almost too easy! They can take over a tank so make sure to keep them secluded unless you want a tank full of star polyps. These corals do great under a lot of current. Feeding them liquids like oyster feast will help them explode with growth and keep their colors looking bright! Thank you for coming by to watch! Follow me so we can chat!

Very pretty. Love the coloring of these.
Thanks Brock. Every time I have a question about something even if I have watched your videos already I come back to them and watch them again and again.
So glad I could help!
They will grow towards the light. Growing up back of a tank is cool. I have some that create a ball and others on stax rocks that are like a perfectly flat lawn.
Me and Dad are going to me and Dad are going to wash this whole entire me and Dad are going to wash this whole entire cribx
Thank you for going over current. I finally figured It out by playing with the powerhead direction but this video is helpful.
Yay! perfect
I love my GSP! it covers almost all my rocks, and my back of the tank. Looks like gorgeous grass all over the tank and all my fish just play in it all day.
It is a perfect coral to take over the tank!
Agreed, and now that I have it covering so much, it pulls all the extra nutrients out and I have no algae problems. Maybe a great choice for a refugium as well to pull out extra nutrients from a tank.
So pretty!
Thanks Brock for the high current tip! My Georges Saint Pierre (UFC fan) can't seem to pop even with the expensive light i bought! I noticed an algae boom in my tank so trying out your recommendation. Will try liquid food too.
Had a discussion with a shop owner he found this in some of his client tanks and I also found it in my tank where I have no leather corals and three different types of gsp. Yellow, green, and dark green in close proximities seems two are always out at a time and one is always retreated rare to find all 3 out together. Both of us wondered if it could be some strange chemical warfare. Also noticed when all 3 come out, happens a lot with new carbon every 3 months.
Very nice! I just got a frag this weekend. We will see how it goes! 😁😁
I really want to start some GSP once I get my tank cycled 😍
Just added a $30 rock today and put him on an island. Added him around 5:00pm - 5:30pm and he’s opening up now nicely around midnight (it’s now 1:45am). It seems pretty happy where he is. My tank cleaner and coral specialist (broken foot) will also bring me an RBTA as well.
Thanks for all the info. I have consolidated a 32 Biocube down to a 12.5 nano and a 2.5 pico. The Biocube was established for about 8 years and went down to the nano/ pico 2 years ago when we sold our house and moved aboard our yacht. The tanks are now in my office (with a lot of real sunlight). I have a lot of green hair algae due to the lighting and I am trying to combat with clean up crews.
The tanks consist of gsp, a few mushrooms, and cabbage leathers. A small old grumpy watchman goby appears every once in a while. He's got to be about 4 yrs old at this point. The gsp though is my focus right now.
I need help with the lighting. I have the Fluval Marine with the app where I can control manually the light settings. I don't know what the favorites and dislikes for each of the colors. If you have a way I can send you pics and screenshots, I would be glad to.
Please advise:
Nighttime (8pm-7am)
RED 0%
CYAN 0%
BLUE 20%
PURPLE 0%
WHITE 0%
slow fade transition then
Daytime (7:45am to 7:15pm) with a slight drop on all colors for an hour midday
RED 25%
CYAN 40%
BLUE 60%
PURPLE 35%
WHITE 30%
I keep my social media links in the description. Send me some pics and I'll be glad to help. The lighting levels look great. I would personally back down the reds as they are a major hair algae grower.
Love this coral
Aqua Girl Talks Right?! 😍
Yo man i have gsp growing on my back wall right, my wavemaker is pushing the gsp to the left only and theres no swaying back and forth. Been like that for a year and the 2 inch frag grew to like 8 inches by 8 inches. So it looks like its growing fine but was wondering if one way flow will hurt it in the long run?
Love all these coral videos, great info. Have you ever kept macro algaes too?
Thank you for always checking em out!! I used to keep a lot of macro algae’s in my reef in between rocks. My tang loves it
Keep up the videos . Very helpful….
Can’t thank you enough for watching ☺️
my second favorite coral!
I am thinking about starting a tank of my own and I just want to know many fish I can put in my tank without over stocking it???
i just got mine a few weeks ago and they wont stay out with my blue lights on...parameters are looking good and good water flow
Quick question:
Can I keep three gobies in a 10 gallon tank (40 litre) the gobies I was/may go for are:
>Griessingei goby
>red banded highfin goby
>Panda clown/coral goby
It will be a reef tank though with:
>possibly a GSP
>Hammer coral
>Duncan
>Rock flower anemone
>blue mushroom
>maybe a zoa
>possibly a ricordea
HTTYD Gacha I’ve seen gobies do great together in nano reefs. I’d try to add all three at the same time if possible, because it will allow for less aggression over territory.
Brock Leonard yea, thought so
I just started GSP. It’s my first coral. I have 2 lights on my 20 gallon one on each side. 1 is a coralife and one is a Aqueon. It’s still a little guy so I’m waiting for it to pop out. Back to my question. I’ve noticed if the white and blue lights are both on it’s starting to come out but if I turn on just the blue lights what has started to come out goes away. Is that normal or what should I do
GSP is impossible to pick up at my local shop because it sells like crazy! Haha
Will the factory light for a fluval spec 5, 5 gallon work for gsp
I have a Corallife BioCube, and I have not been able to determine the light type or strength on it, and am interested in knowing what kind they are, their strength, and if it is worth upgrading it at some point or not. Please let me know. Thank you.
You'd be surprised, the BioCube lighting is very good for growing corals. Brains, LPS, GSP, Mushrooms, and much more. If you wanted to get into SPS corals, that is when I would look into upgrading.
Ten gallon tank with a basic nicrew light. It seems like the light is bright and consistent all the way down.
I bet it can grow em!
is this taller than pulsing xenia? I wanted to put this on my 7.5g tank. can I combine xenia and this in that small tank?
I have a black box light how's that for them to grow ??
Just got a new shipment from worldwidecorals including a green star, a waving hand anthelia, green/gold hammer/ and red gorgonia. Also got a bunch of coral last week. Its addicting
Very addicting
What do you feed them again?
The fluval evo 13.5 stock light. Coukd i glue the freag stone to the back and have it be isolated there?
Yes you could!
Brock what determines "medium to high light"? Is it more white light vs blue light or the other way around?
It’s based on light fixtures that are run by percentage. Like you’ll hear people say my lights are set to 80% blue and 40% white.
When it comes to night time lighting. Should you turn of the light completely, or use blue light for your green star polyps? My GSP’s get about 8hrs of white and blue light everyday.
Andre Perkins Mine go completely off. I’ve seen some who will leave their blue on, but at a very low percentage/power
It's fine to leave it on for coral but if you have fish that don't have a hiding spot they will die from no sleep
If it’s. Not reef tank is it ok to add will they live saltwater is 1.021
Hey Brock can I ask you something? Can I use your thumbnails from your all about video? I want to create videos just like you but I don’t know really know how to do it well. Any tips?
i got some yesterday and they won't open do u know why?
hey i have a viparspectra long 300 watt L.ED, on a 55 gallon long WITH A MIXXED TANK WHAT SHOULD I SET MY LIGHTS AT its mostly LPS
Do the Viparspectra lights go by percentages? I would recommend whatever your blue lights are set at, set the whites at half.
Would you please make a video on your external canister filter? Thanks
Any sort of fine mechanical filtration is evil, don't use it. You want particles to freely swim in the water, so they can get eaten or form plankton.
You got it!!
does Green Star polyps grow in 67 umol PAR?
Tbh I wouldn't mind a carpet of GSP, I just don't want it spreading to the rock but I'll stay trimming it
Is 49 Par in a 12 inch depth alright to grow this coral?
What’s the max depth I can keep this coral in with a 49 par ?
I have a nano..
Yes that would be enough to grow the GSP. After a foot and a half, the light would not be strong enough to keep harder corals like brains and SPS
I am currently running (2) 72'' Orbit LED's by Current USA. Im also using coral pro salt in my 180gallon reef. I'm doing (2) water changes per week. each change consist of 20 gallons. My GSP are just there:( No growth. They extend most of the time. I've been waiting for this explosion, but Im not having much luck. Should I change my lighting?
M Dub From the outside everything sounds great. How long do you run your lights? Hour wise.
Brock Leonard honestly about 10 hours
Can I put them on the substrate
I have the Fluval aquasky 35 watts.. is this good enough to grow some gsp?
Hey melissa! Yes they will grow the gsp just fine.
About 6 different morphs or species of these.
24w Lancia 2 light. Is the freshwater version tho. Would this work on them?
I do not think it’ll be powerful enough to keep the GSP healthy.
I have many corals growing fast but gsp is the only one is still thesame size, not growing and i have it in the tank 2 years now...
Can you cut bits off with scissors and throw in bin or do you give extra to pey't shop is it a pet fish or a plant, how do care for it when it grows too big for tank
I would use scissors to cut it whenever it grows too big. It’s very strong and adapts well to the fragging/healing process. It’s a coral, so it technically is living.
내 산호랑 비슷하네요
영상 잘보고 갑니다 !
Would Angelfish be a good fish to keep with GSP?
SSEEAAHHAAWWKKSS RULE!!! Depends on the Angel tbh. Some angels do great and don’t pick on corals and others won’t stop nipping at it.
Can you do a video on the bicolor dottyback?
Grayson Prespare Great suggestion! I’ll get footage soon.
I have one do u know were should i add it floor or rock? Hard flow or low ?
Rock and hard flow
Is this Clavularia viridis or Pachyclavularia violacea
How do you get it under control if it has started to really expand?
Fragging is a big one, but if it’s stuck to the rocks too hard to frag, sometimes replacing rocks is an option. The other is growing things around it that will sting it and keep it at bay haha
The blue eye tang we have (Ctenochaetus binotatus) has lost all yellow in it’s tail and it’s fins are a tan colour it now looks like a Kole tang without the yellow eye and instead blue eye, is that normal for it to loose it’s yellow immediately after going in an aquarium it’s yellow starts fading to tan/blackish colour and a week later it’s fully blackish/tan
HTTYD Gacha If they are still eating and swimming around, I’m sure he is fine. It seems like it is still getting acclimated to its new tank.
Brock Leonard ok, thanks
I did try them few times with no success
i hav mine in the middle of the tank surrounded by chalices they ant going no where 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 smart idea 😭😭
I have a 30 watts light about the tank and water circulation is pretty decent, how long until it grows?
Until it opens, i mean?
Normally a couple weeks for them to get used to the tank.
Would Reef-roids work good to spot feed?
That’s what I use! Seems to work just fine.
Been two months of getting them...they dont seem to grow ...inspite of having a good enough current on them
Some people’s tanks they never grow
Also, can you do an all about the Naoko fairy wrasse?
HTTYD Gacha gah I haven’t seen one of those in a while. But for the time being, the flasher wrasse has a very similar care guide.
Brock Leonard ok, we got one today they’re beautiful
Edit: I didn’t even know how rare they were!
Will Dual Orbit Marine IC (Current-USA) be good enough to grow them?
They are on a Marineland 60 gallon.
YES THAT WILL WORK
Hey I have the fulval aqua sky will they be okay with that??
I would recommend something a little stronger. I've seen those grow freshwater plants okay, but not corals.
Does it spread by releasing eggs into the water or does it spread like creep in Starcraft
hahaha like creep from starcraft
Would a Fluval marine 2.0 led light be good for these corals ?
Is it one of the Marine and Reef versions? If so, yes!
@@BrockLeonard yes it is. Thank you
Is my light good enough?
Aqua knight v2?
Yes!!!
How is the blade glow light?
I’ve heard really good things about them! Great for growing lps
"All about, all about, all about..." - where is that part? :(
Artem Klimov Retiring the old intro for a little while 🏆
Because there is always more to know. Im an experienced reefer but still drop in to hear what our boy Brock has to say on the matter. #$tayFishy
Do they look good under normal white light
I think they still have the green colour but they do fluoresce really nicely even under very slightly blue light.
can a nicrew 50w hyper reef grow them?
Yes
mine just doesnt open and keeps dying.
Does gsp produce any toxins in the water if they happen to die ?
Decaying coral is never good to keep in the tank but I’ve had some die in mine and I did not run into any issues
@@BrockLeonard thank you for the info . My first ever salt water tank i had for like 2 years with no issues. Had a few different kinds of beginner corals then One day it crashed and lost everything . Got back into reefing but this time went Only macro algae , now had my tank for 3 years now . Just don’t want to bother with anything that produces toxins if something happens so not sure if they all do . Really liked gsp when I had it .
Sorry but I tried many times and they not open after 2 weeks from purchasing.
I have 2 ai primes on my 55 gallon is that enough to grow these?
oh most definitely
Brock if I post a RUclips link to my tank can you check it out and give me some suggestions on types of fish I could get?
SSEEAAHHAAWWKKSS RULE!!! Oh of course!! Send that link as soon as possible!
@@BrockLeonard ruclips.net/video/S9wXomb5Ts8/видео.html
I've had it setup since November 2018
All my corals are doing great and grow but for some reason I cant keep these guys alive ! I'm going to try 1 more time and put them on some current
They actually like medium to strong light + high nutrients. If they don't open up in your tank, something is bothering them probably, like, touching other corals, or even amphipods eating them from bellow.
where do you live ill send you a 5in by 7in 😂 this things are so annoying i dose my tank and they grow a 1/4 every day
jmz mrz u can send me some lol
@@jmzmrz674 would you actually be willing to send some? I’d be interested lol

All about goniopora
I see an eel in your intro, is it yours?
It's our zebra moray eel in our store. Can see it up close here (ruclips.net/video/IM7HYFt7R2o/видео.html)
I have a SB Reef Light
Model: sBox
SSEEAAHHAAWWKKSS RULE!!! They’ll do fine under that light.
Mine keep blooming and shrinking
Check your parameters. Usually a spike in salinity, nitrate, or ammonia could be an issue.
Hi,so i don t know if anyone has this but i have a lamp from aliexpress.I know,probably stupid but would it work?It s name is ''Aquarium LED light Marine coral SPS LPS Aquarium sea Reef Tank Blue White Beginner 90v-240v For 30-50 cm Seawater tank" It s from aliexpress.My tank has 30 US gal
I always see frags expensive
Look for frags from local reefers. Some guve it away for free. I paid 10 bucks for a 1 inch frag. Now its over 8x8 inches growing on the back wall
I just bought a frag, and it’s not opening up how long do I wait for it to open up?
Normally within the week you should see the sprouts. I would check lighting and current if they still are not opening up.
ok fluval evo 52 stock light
Yes! That should grow them just fine.
AI Blade Coral Grow okay?
For these, yes!!
@@BrockLeonard was thinking I might need some better main pucks like Prime HD16 or is that too much. Appreciate the reply, love the series
You sound like Wes nun
Hipargero 3rd generation A029
Enjoy your video. I have guys in 250 gals
Thank you for coming out to watch!
They’ll overtake your tank quickly.
Everyone says this but unless I'm running my tank very poorly they don't spread as nearly as fast as everyone says.
You can keep them isolated fairly easily, give them their own rock to encrust on that has no other rock nearby and the GSP won’t leave their rock.
What do you do when they take over and 1 more question can you keep placomus catfish with them
@@rustybennineoneonemajesty you can trim them back and frag them pretty easily, there’s videos on how to do it. For the other question I don’t have an answer.
@@rustybennineoneonemajesty aren't those cat fish freshwater though?
