📜 Backstory
'Toxic Green Star Polyps' is a trade name used loosely across many aquaculture vendors (e.g. Zeo Box Reef, Coral Barn, FragRackCity, Gallery Aquatica), usually labeled Pachyclavularia violacea or Briareum. 'Toxic' here is a generic hobby color descriptor for an unusually intense green rather than a single named designer lineage; original colony origin is debated and not tied to one source.
Keeper tips for this variant
Standard GSP care: own rock, moderate light and moderate-to-high flow; the toxic green saturates best under blue-heavy lighting. Some keepers benefit from light iodide/amino-acid dosing, though it is not required.
