    Very nice looking tank. I too really like the mushrooms and the scape.

    GSP can be stubborn that way, but they almost always open eventually. You can try really increasing the flow to them and see what happens. If they continue to have issues put up an image.

    I have tried a couple different placements and flow levels. There is a pic in what I have posted. Next to the xenia. Left side of the tank, mid rock.

    They can do that at times for no reason it seems.I've had them close completly for over a week for no reason,but i've also had them get mad because detritus build up on the mat and sometimes they need either brushed off with a semi soft brush or use a turkey baster to clean them off.I've also had them mad with flow changes i've made and found they will get used to the different flow after a while.

    Have you cleaned them off? Can the colony be moved?With everything else in the tank doing well,I would think flow or detritus.These are very resiliant corals and can survive in some pretty harsh conditions.
