No, they won't kill your GSP.
Done any water changes lately? What are your parameters?

Where do you keep your salinity? 1.025-1.026?
Are they on the bottom of your tank or near the lights?

salinity is at 1.025 and they are in the middle of the tank, almost directly half way between the sand bed at water line.

Were they doing fine in that location for a while?
I think I'd move them up a bit closer to the lights.

Sometimes GSP seem to "take a break".
It seems like they go through a big growth spurt for a while and then rest. That may be what yours are doing. It doesn't seem like there is anything too wrong with your tank parameters so I wouldn't suspect anything there. I think I'd just give them a while and see if they don't open back up and give you another growth spurt.
