Pachyclavularia

Mat-forming

Green star polyps on a purple encrusting mat — spreading, fast, and hard to contain.

  • Purple to maroon mat under bright green polyps; the two colors together are the ID
  • Mat spreads across rock and onto glass
  • Polyps retract completely, leaving a bare mat, when disturbed
