Hi there i have some coral frags to swop I dont really like posting but dont mind meeting people half way round the Derby , nottingham, leicester area

Frag 1
The Star Polyp Corals are also referred to as Starburst, Eight Tentacle, Mat, or Daisy Polyps. They are usually white or brown with a white dot in the center of each polyp, although, some more rare Star Polyps are green. The green specimens have been called Clavularia viridis; however, they are now identified as a Pachyclavularia sp. They have the distinctive eight-leaved tentacles on each polyp. They are colonial animals with several individual polyps attached to a piece of live rock
