What is the lighter colored star polyp looking stuff in the bottom middle of the pic?

I think it looks similar to GSP but a different color or pipe organ polyps? IDK

looks lke metallic green GSP.
if it has a mat, it is some kind of sncrusting gorg/GSP

if it is growing a red skeletal structure, could be a pipe organ

if it grows a bunch of brown tentacles it's aiptasia heh :D, oh wait, those are on the left already

Seriously, you need to take care of that problem NOW. Don't let it get to the point where it's all over the place because then it's too late. They will start stinging your corals and multiply like bunnies. :uzi::uzi::uzi:

Is that a tube like structure right below the polyps? Could be pipe organ coral.

Yeah, the purply tubes underneath it look like a pipe organ.
