I need help with gsp

[Wilders reef]

my Gsp is not opening after multiple days
so when I first got it from my lfs a Few polyps opened but the next day none of them were open so I let it sit for a few days and nothing happened so I moved it and the next day 1 polyp opened and after that it hasn’t opened once
( any idea help and I can test water parameter but they were good yesterday so I don’t think thats the problem)

Looks like it's tucked in a corner right next to that upright compartment you have.
Do you have room to just move that whole rock more front/center of your tank for a week or two to see if it acts differently there,,, just in case the lighting or flow in that corner is the problem?

 

[Wilders reef]

Ok I will try that praying it works

Other corals ok? Looks like it’s the only thing in the tank? How old is the tank and if you’ve tested water params yesterday, what were they?

If everything is ok, you’ll be seeking help soon to get rid of them? They can take over one’s tank! Ha

In my experience GSP can be a diva, especially after moving. Mine's been closed for up to two weeks before. I wouldn't be too worried.

I have a kenya tree doing well and the tank is 3 months old and I have 2 Bangui cardinals a lawnmower Bennie 2 ocellarius clowns and a yellow watchman goby and hermit crabs and I’m going to my it’s to get it tested to make sure my test kits aren’t wrong

3mos old is a still a little “young”, suspect you battling/battled with the uglies. GSPs are very resilient so you should be fine. My survived even tank crashes. I would keep them on an island though — they spread like wildfire once acclimated.

I’ve seen this similar post many times, they eventually open up. I’ve had mine over 2 years and every once in a while they close up for no apparent reason for a day or two. Make sure you have sufficient nitrates and phosphates.

Leave it be for a few more days. As others have said, it is not uncommon to stay closed for several days after handling or moving to a new tank.
Check your water paramaters to make sure nothing is off. (Especially salinity)
As long as it's getting some light and flow, it should be fine.

Agree with this 100%. My GSP is a total diva and loves to pout especially after moving it for any reason.

GSP is one of those odd corals IME that does either extremely well or extremely poor in different tanks. Give it time and find out which category you fall under lol

 

[Wilders reef]

would their be anything you guys suggest I buy

Offer some more info about your tank, like lighting, flow, water change schedule and supplements, so the more advanced reefers can guide you.
