    I will give you a hint. Texas.
    My new green star polyps closed up yesturday and have not reopened. All my params look fine. And this is just one colony doing this. I have gsp in 4 different areas and they are all fine. No crabs around them, at least not constantly. They have 24 hr survaliance on them cause the wife stays home and nothing all day or night. Any thoughts? They were lookin fine and still do just closed for the past 48 hours.:confused:

    Ok i got my gsp and they closed for 2 weeks. So then i moved them to a area with more flow. The next morning they opened right up and looked awsome i would move it if i were you. Good luck

    My oldest colony pouts from time to time. Sometimes up to 2 weeks but then it pops back out and goes into growth overdrive for a day or two and it's in a flow area it likes.
