Green Star Polyps Not Opening

rbergmandc · 10/22/2009, 06:57 AM

Hey All..

I have 2 patches of green star polyps in my 65 FOWLR.. that initially opened.. but have been closed for days ! Not sure why.. most of my water parameters are good.. i did have a bit of a flood and the salinity dropped to 1.018-20.. its coming back up now

Lighting is 2x10k daylight T5HO and 2xActinic T5HO
I think it is a Current Sundial ?

Any thoughts.. my BTA is fine, also have a kenya tree, and xenia..

Just ****ed about the polups..

Any helps

Mine are the same way, they started opening up more the past few days finally after a few water changes. They were fine when I switched lights, but now it seems they don't like the bright light anymore. It's annoying!

GSP can sulk for days. I wouldn't worry too much unless you start to notice the mat receding.

They were in for a couple of weeks and the base was sorta bad but everyone told me to leave them alone and they would come baCK , I LEFT THEM ALONE AND AFTER A FEW WEEKS THEY ARE BACK AND LOOKING GREAT!!!!
