My green star polyp has been retracted for 2 days straight now. Water parameters are good what could be wrong?!

Can you post your numbers? Have you changed anything?

Can you post your numbers? Have you changed anything?

sg is 1.025
ammonia 0ppm
nitrates 0ppm
nitrites 0ppm
water temp is 78 degrees
I moved it back from college Wednesday night (hour and a half drive) and it has been closed since then

What's you phosphates. But since you moved it and it's spot changed, I would think it's just trying to adjust to new location.

What is your Alk, Cal, Mag, and Phosphates?

I've seen these things be "nubs" for like months only to later regret it while it secretly plotted a take over of my tank.....use this time to figure out how to isolate it/restrict it from spreading...I mean if you plan on keeping other corals that is

It does that sometimes. I would give it a week before worrying.

Nitrates at zero is not good... neither is zero phos. But I agree that GSP sometimes just closes up for a bit when you change things.

As long as it’s purple it’s still alive. Most likely adjusting. Hard to kill it

Many reefers, in hindsight, would call this a blessing in disguise!

It is normal, GSP can hide for months when something change, it will come back no matter what the water parameters are !
As long as it is in normal range hehe.
