  Exotic phases of QCD exhibiting strong correlations exist
   at very high baryon density and relatively low temperatures. Examples
   of such phases range from nucleon superfluid phases expected to occur
   in the interior of neutron stars, to possible color superconducting
   phases, which may occur in the core of a neutron stars. Some of these
   phases may  also occur in relativistic heavy ion collisions in the
   high baryon density regime, e.g. at RHIC (BES), FAIR, and NICA. We
   discuss the possibilities of detecting them in heavy ion collisions
   focusing on the universal aspects of associated phase transitions.
