Hi everyone. I have a new tank that went through rough cycling. I added 2 clown fishes and few corals. After a couple of weeks I got Diatoms in my tank. Than I picked up some cleaning crew and I totally killed the white color in my light. I have never had red or green on cause the tank is new.
Pretty much everything is under control except my GSP is not opening for 3-4 days. I can see algie on it but the cleaning crew was on the GSP cleaning it 2 days.
Did water change and everything is stable.
Salinity 1.025
Alkalinity 8.1
Phosphate 0
Nitrate 0.2

Any advice on what to do next? How do I know if the GSP is alive at all?

when I first put mine in the tank it stayed closed for a work week of time before it slowly started to creep each day with the light cycle, took about 2 weeks for mine to fully fully extend all of its polyps
 
Mine closes from time to time. The last time it closed was for a week. It’s now fully opened and looks great. Not sure why they do that but I think it’s normal.
