I agree. Give it a few months and you'll probably wish it had died.

Hay man I have to jump in on this I know a guy that had his tank crash even killed his fish he tried putting more fish in and bam they died too he was not cleaning his gravel and after a year it started killing every thing. GH grow over every thing this is when he started to listen to me and I helped him clean up his tank and now there's no algae growing gave him a hydro Korella 3 for flow he bought a HOB skimmer and is using that now. The only things that survived his crash was GSP and devils hand frag I gave him tough stuff those two corals are. I have a couple corals waiting for him.

Iknow gsp is tough that's why I'm really surprised it hasn't opened yet, had a heater break on an old tank and the temp got upto 95-100 or something and the only 2 things that looked as if nothing was wrong was my gsp an Aussie Duncan lol that's why I figured it would have opened by now if it was still alive but I'll give it a few more days and watch for new growth

If you don't already have a bryopsis or hydroid infestation in the rest of your tank, I would toss the GSP frag. It is not worth risking having hydroids/bryopsis all over your tank IMO, as green star polyps are cheap and in a few years you will be wondering how to eradicate it anyways.
