LPS Coral Not Opening

paxton.rock · Mar 2, 2023

I just bought a GSP (green star polyp) and a Flowerpot Goniopora. Light is roughly medium. Flow is medium. Flowerpot started to open the moment I put him in my tank and then closed back up and has been since. My GSP has never opened up since it left the store. Does anyone have any idea why?

They can close up for a few days. No big deal. Do you have other corals in the tank? Are they happy?

Yes. My other corals look happy. My GSP has been closed for 1 week though.

Maybe give him a quick turkey baste incase there is any debris on top? Then make sure its getting good flow. Very hardy coral. If everything else is squared away with water params I assume it will be fine
