Very unhappy GSP


My GSP has always been the happiest coral in my tank. Tuesday i did my WC as normal, nothing different, same as always. My GSP has yet to open. I'm worried, it's never done this before.....tell me it's to early to worry.

gsp is very very very hardy
it will usually be the last coral to die in your tank so id say you have nothing to worry about yet but if you start to see is "dissolve" away thats when you need to worry

I won't worry (though worrying about my pets is what I do best), I'll give it more time.

I use a rotating defector it hits them all the time.....but that's nothing new.....more of a way of life for them.

Breathe, GSP in most systems will eventually reach weed status, I like the statement above: "...very, very, very, very, very, very hardy..."
