GSP hiding

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.

My snakeskin gsp has a habit of closing up if the alk levels are too high. Is it snakeskin or purple mat? They do act a bit differently.

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.

They are but you never know. I lost 3 cloned colonies recently for some reason. All other corals were fine! But ya, They have a history of closing up from time to time, usually when they're messed around with or a tank perameter is changed too rapidly.

Hey guys,

The GSP is still closed up. It has been a few weeks, and I am not sure what to do. They look to be in good condition, just closed up tightly in their purple bulbs.

mine do that all the time...they always seem to come out sooner or later though.

They stay hidden for a few weeks or just days?
