Genus
Common name: Green Star Polyps
Scientific name: Cycloporus
Cycloporus is a genus of soft corals known for their vibrant green color and ease of care, making them a popular choice for beginner and advanced reefkeepers alike. They are often referred to as Green Star Polyps due to their star-shaped polyps that can cover large areas, creating a stunning carpet effect. These corals are hardy and can tolerate a range of lighting conditions, although they thrive best under moderate lighting. They are also known for their rapid growth and can quickly spread across rockwork and tank surfaces, which should be considered when placing them in the aquarium to avoid overgrowth of other sessile organisms.
