If your water is reasonable in terms of chemistry, just wait.
This one did nothing for a month, then this from month 2 to 6.
I’ve had them in no flow, high flow, high light, lower light, freaking strong those GSP

Wow! That looks cool.i wish mine open like yours .mine a bit strange thought Is to burnt since in under high light medium flow

yea, gsp is really hardy. if it's new to your tank, it may take a bit of time to acclimate, especially if it was kept under different conditions (lighting, flow, water quality, etc.) in the host tank. give it time.

also, i wouldn't put it on your main rock work, or any rock you intend to have other corals on. once it takes off, as you can see in the other poster's picture, it spreads. unless it's isolated, it will take over. keep it on something you can easily control, like its own rock island, or your back wall.

good luck!

These are like the best pic I could get .
Gsp doesnt look green . I'm scared I burnt it with high light .

The gsp looks brown. Does it normally look like this .

Try to blow them off with a turkey bastor and wait. If your params are fine, they will open when they are ready. Mine stayed closed for a month. Now it’s slowly taking over my back wall

Update
I think the poly showing some signs.

My only big question is why is the polys brown it should be green right?

Never owned zoa before. Amateur reef question .sorry

There are a few variations on color as far as GSP. I actually have two different strains in my nano tank, one is bright green, and the other is bright green with white centers which is really cool.

Give it time. When I moved my tank my GSP on the back wall was exposed to air for about an hour and is just fine.
