Green Star Polyps hosting Tomato Clownfish

My Tomato clown has decided these polyps will do since she has no anemone.

niec thats cool, i wanted to get a small 1 inch frag of green star polyps too and everyone is always sayin how they get outta hand when they grow but i really dont care cus i need some coral growth in my tank the only 1s i have r tiny. do u think theres more of a chance of my tank raised ocellaris pair hostin my frogspawn or torch then to host the green star polyps?

This stuff does grow pretty rampant. I have it in a tank of mushrooms and polyps all off which grow all over so in my situation it is not a problem. The excess growth is VERY easily removed with scissors. Mine has spread to the glass on the back of the tank. If I wanted I could easily peel it off. This clown sadly passed away but I replaced it with two tiny little babies and they started to go for the polyps also. They now inhabit a large colony of red, green striped and lavender mushrooms.

@tripleequisus YES THEY ARE

The difference to the best of my knowledge is that Pachyclavularia (Star Polyps) have a stoloniferous type of growth and Briareum (Pacific encrusting gorgonian) does not. Mine have the stolon forms and the encrusting mat is pretty dark purple where as Briareum should be more greyish purple to even a greenish brown color. So I'm fairly positive I have Star Polyps.
