I wouldn't worry, mine closes up for a couple days every now and again. How are your other corals doing?

Other corals are well, at present I only have 4 53Watt T5s for a 75 Gallon tank but every thing seems OK. I also put in a green digi a week or so ago and so far so good.

Thanks for all the replies, I keep telling my wife that the aquarium is supposed to lower my stress.

ya right, I say the same thing, but there is always something in there to increase the stress. If it's not the coral then it's the fish, if not that then something else.

I had a gsp do the same thing too after about 6 months in my tank. Never did open back up and just slowly shrank away to nothing. everything else in the tank was just fine. Go figure? Also had pulsing zenia do the same thing. Heard both of these corals are like weeds and grow like crazy, you can never get rid of them. Brown thumb i guess lol

It might have been your mag. My Zenias were doing the same thing but then I changed salts with more mag (after being told to try this by one of my lfs) and now I am always trimming back the Zenias. (Of course assuming your ph is above 8.1)

from the picture you sent it looks fine. Your lighting is fine, as I have a t5 4 bulb unit and have all types of coral including GSP growing in my tank.
