Hey everyone! I bought a rock with a nice purple mat of GSP on it. The GSP was opening completely fine after I bought it. Then I brushed the top with a toothbrush because someone told me I should due to algae. This is when it stopped opening. The next day it opened some more and it then got knocked my a snail. It was getting knocked everyday for about 4 days so I glued it down. It is now opening on the side but not fully on the top.

Parameters:
0 ammonia
0 nitrites/nitrates
1.025 salinity
Tank is about 1 and 1/2 months old

Tank:
Fluval Evo 13
Dry rock and live sand

Stock:

2 ocellaris clownfish
1 yellow clown goby
3 cleaner snails
1 GSP
1 Euphyllia Torch (doing great)

Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!
 
It will be fine I'm sure. I've seen gsp close for several day only to come back nicer than before.

Phew that’s good. He had only been glued now for 5 days so fingers crossed he will start to open again.
 
Also they do like moderate flow. Thatll help keep the algea from attaching.
