Packing and shipping are charged per box, not per coral. The $15 packing fee covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely; overnight UPS is the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another packing or shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders over $399 ship free.

Florida: $30 overnight livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship overnight for a flat $30, plus the $15 packing fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard overnight rate, and orders over $399 ship free either way.

Livestock ships to the continental US. Alaska needs a shipping quote before you order, and we cannot ship coral to Hawaii — get in touch first.

Description

Green Star Polyps (Pachyclavularia violacea) are one of the fastest-growing and most forgiving soft corals in the hobby, quickly encrusting rock or plugs with a dense mat of feathery green polyps that wave continuously in flow. They tolerate a wide range of lighting and flow conditions, making them an excellent choice for beginners, frag racks, and nano tanks alike. GSP spreads readily and can be trimmed back as needed to control its footprint.

CARE INFO:
Water Flow: Medium to High
Lighting: Medium to High
Feeding: Low — photosynthetic, does not require target feeding.
Placement: Tolerant of most placements; give it room to spread, as it can encrust over and outcompete slower-growing neighbors.
