Default GSP hiding

Hey guys,

My Green Star Polyps have been closed up for a few days now, and I am wondering if it is normal for this to happen? They have been doing great for months and all of a sudden they are now all closed. All of my other corals are doing great. Levels have stayed steady since the day I got them. Any ideas?

I think it's pretty common for this to happen from time to time. Mine will do it occasionally for up to a couple of days.

my gsp has been closing up for some days now, after I changed my salt. Hope it will be ok and open up soon.

GSP is an extremely resilient coral. Sometimes it wil stay closed for several days but you can be damned sure that it won't die on you unless something's terribly wrong with your water parameters.

i know. the smaller gsp already opened but the bigger gsp has not.
At least all the other corals are open and doing well.

I wouldn't worry yet, our gsp closed up for 2 weeks once before making a full recovery.
