miniscule green polyps on Vidala coral

[AquaAddict]

Hi,

There are very tiny green polyps growing around the base of my purple Vidala coral. I can only see these polyps with actinic lighting. Then they glow bright green.

Can anyone tell me if they are part of the coral or are they parasitical hitchhikers?

They are normal. The neon green poylps usually come out when the coral is established and happy. a. valida's with neon poylps usually get the name "bonsai" to them.
