My GSP was doing great. It had spread over most of the rock that it's on and looked beautiful. For the past 3-4 weeks it has remained about 95% closed up. There are only a few polyps that ever open. I think some polyps have just melted away. There are some spots of red algae (not slimy, so I...

My GSP have 2 different, possibly related, issues, that I was hoping someone might help me with. A) It's bubbling! the red mat underneath the actual polyps is creating air bubbles (or holding on to) that they don't easily release. B) some of the red/maroon mat underneath is enveloping not...
