Back story: On Saturday, I decided to clean my GSP of the hair algae that was bothering it. Some would close and some would open. So I took it out and brush the hair algae away with hydrogen peroxide (diluted with rodi). I glue it back on the same rock but different place.
Top right is the original place with 2 sprout of GSP, middle is the new place.
Unfortunately, the GSP is still closed up since Saturday.

So.. did I kill it?

I don't think its nutrient issue since the 2 small sprout open up. And no issues with the zoas.

pH: 8.0 - 8.2 (Night,Day)
Alk: 8
NO3: 1
PO4: 0.03
Ammonia: 0
 
Peroxide may have had an impact. I would have used liquid vibrant
GSP is tough and may bounce back but i again would have concern

That's what I thought. GSP is tough, and I'm not dipping it. Just brush it away.

At this time, I am praying that the 2 small sprout will lives on and conquer this rock

Im sure it’ll be fine. Gsp is like steel. Even if it dies, plenty of people will be happy to sell you a new chunk sans algae :)
