Can green star polyp grow like this?

I put my GSP on a frag stone on the sand bed.
Can it grow/thrive like this? I had it a couple days but it doesn’t wanna open completely.
Theres moderate flow in that area.

Sorry for the bad picture, no there’s no sand on it.

Yeah that stuff is pretty indestructible. I have some on a frag plug that I stuck in the sand and it's grown out all over the plug

Guess it’s just super grumpy then, gotta give it some more time.

Kill it while you have the chance.

to add to this; it will eventually grow over itself and over the sand. your call if you want to keep it that long, but for now it should be fine - let me acclimate to the tank. they're very very hardy.

I found it's easy to keep it pruned. Just rip pieces off and relocate or toss it in the trash.

Exactly what my plan is, i’m gonna keep it pruned as a small little bush

I love the stuff. I tore this tank down recently and ripped this big one off and now I have some in all of my other tanks lol. I like it on the back wall but did place pieces on some rocks that can be moved.

Grows on anything including leathers, gorgonians, and glass!
