Green star polyp is curling...

My new green star polyps has been doing good for several days. My parameters are good as well. But now the polyps are starting to curl outwards.



Any thoughts??

Not a problem that I can see. These things are super hardy and will spread like crazy. If the polyps are out yore OK.

Mine did that a few times, I put them under a bit stronger flow, and they are swinging around like crazy. Dancing i would call it. It has started spanning outward with new polyps and i feel it's doing better than ever.

When I had green star polyps they would do that if they had too much flow on them. The type of flow mine liked was a good random flow.

Mine looks almost like grass now. You can barely see the "center" Here is a pic:

Give them more flow and they will extend further and not curl so much. I think the only way to kill gsp is to set it on fire.
