Green star polyps

[Bankertanker]

Hey,

So I was out of the office for a few days, one of my green star polyps fell off the rocks into the gravel and closed up and hasn't opened for over 24 hours,

Is there anything that can be done to help it?

Or any assistance for this would be amazing!

Thanks in advance

Also if anyone knows what is growing out from them as well?

It's a GSP!! It'll be fine, I don't know if they can actually die...

I really hope so it hasn't opened for a while now

Awesome, do you know what the weird stuff growing out of them is?

Looks like spores of GHA. (Green hair algae)

Once it grows on the tissue of the coral, it won’t recover.

Nothing a peroxide dip won't fix

Looks like a macro algae. Just pluck it off. The GSP was the first coral I got and it went through hell while my tank finished its ugly phases, it has had everything on it imaginable including GHA, dinos and urchins, it came through like a champ.
I've never dipped it in hydrogen peroxide but I did everything else to kill off algae and it works.
Dip 5 minutes, rinse in tank water and place back in tank, algae dies within a few days

Not really, but as long as your water parameters are good they will be fine.

check for GHA, possible peroxide dip - kali
