Can anyone identify what is attached to my green star polyp

I have a tank that has been set up for four months. CA is 425, MG is 1300, Alk is 127. Can anyone identify what the green grassy looking stuff is that is attached to the green star polyp in this picture and what, if anything, I should do about it? The picture was taken in the morning before the green star polyp opened so the green star polyp looks purple in this picture.

Thank you.

See if it spreads. In a mature tank, it won't.
