Wow!
Matt, you and I must have star polyps from the same original source!
Or, perhaps more likely, it might be common for this stuff to "grow" with star polyp colonies, for I have some of this same stuff on mine. I was going to post a pic for identification, but don't need to now I guess. It looks like you stuck a camera into my tank and took one.
It's the "little brown, shriveled. . . wisps" I thought might be "old dead parts of the polyps" in a recent post of mine (

I'm considering removing them, whatever they are, as I don't like the look of them and as you said, I think it might be competing with the polyps, now that I know it's living. It's living where polyps once were. :shake:
Please, if you find out anything about this thing, let me know, I'd appreciate it. Until then, take care, and good luck!
