I got my galaxea on Friday. And it hasn't open up in 3 days. I had about 20 opened at one point but closed up again. At my lfs they were all opened up. Not sure why they won't open up. Is their some thing wrong? I bought 2 other coral the same time and they are doing fine.

Are you sure it is a galaxea? It looks like green star polyps.
 
Sorry that's the name(green star polyps). I also just got a galaxies mixed the names.
 
They/you may move your post to the soft corals forum. Either way sometimes corals may need a day or two to acclimate to your water. But it may still be better to list your water perimeters. Where is the tank you placed it. Lighting you are using.

GSP are generally one of the hardiest corals you can own. You did say the others look good. So it just may be it adjusting but list your water perimeters just incase.

I've seen gsp take a few days to a week to reopen. Mine took a few days. Now its open during the day and closed at nite.
 
I will also post in soft coral forum. I'm hoping it will spread lol it brings a lot of color.
 
There are several varieties of what are referred to as GSP. They can be a great splash of color. Some grow faster than others but all can get out of hand. Place it away from other corals or tank glass or it will become to kudzu of corals or start to cover the glass of your tank.
