Green star polyp not colonizing

warlock1988 · 10-19-2009, 01:49 PM

Hello, I have had a fragment of green star polyps for the past 3 months and it is not growing or expanding, i was told that these flourish fairly easily. Everyday they open fully but they do not expand and grow. All my other corals are growing beautifully i just cant seem to get these to grow. I have a 35 gallon tank, do 5gal water changes every week, feed phytoplankon every other day and have compact flourescent lighting. Any advice?

So it hasn't covered any new rock? With my GSP I was looking at some old vide of them when I first got them and now and was really able to see how far they have come and how much they have grown. Besides that I don't know gsp don't really require anything major. I have noticed though that with high flow on them they really start to grow like crazy. best of luck!

I keep my gsp in a high flow area......they are growing like crazy. How does your water test?

yeah its still only on the same piece that i bought it on i had it in a high flow area for a few months and it didnt do anything so right now ive got it in a medium flow right under my filter output and the highest part in my tank closest to my lights hoping that may help. all my parameters in the water test are in check
