Not green star polyps, just star polyps - pachyclavularia. They come in a variety of shades, green being one of them.

Indeed they are star polyps. They are pretty fun, I enjoy watching them sway in the current. They are easy to keep and grow pretty quickly - almost to nuisance levels. I bought a string of them about an inch and a half long maybe a month ago and it's doubled in size already. I already broke 2 pieces off it and put them in different spots.
