Can you give us your parameters and a pic in white light only so we can try and help you?

 

[ZC aquatics]

So they look perfect I’m not able to get a pic rn they just won’t open

 

[Gumbies R Us]

We need more information about your tank

Pictures would help out a lot to see what is going on.

Parameters and what you are using to test them.

Light and PAR

Flow

Location of the GSP?

Anything that could be bothering them?

You don't need to spot feed GSP. In fact mine will sometimes close up for a week or two when I first got it if I shot water directly at them. Just feed the tank normally.

I haven’t been feeding them anymore

High Flow and high light low nutrients. 500 par hitting the back wall

Medium light moderate flow very high nutrients.

You said new so I would put it where its getting a good amount of flow and light and leave it be. Mine has stayed closed for weeks after moving.

This piece came from behind the rocks where it spent months in the dark. It was on the urchins back for 3 weeks before it opened up and i plucked it off and glued it down.

Funny thing is for the first few years in the hobby I couldn't keep it alive but I have no idea why.

Did you just buy the GSP? Mine took over a week to open up.

 

[ZC aquatics]

Yes I did
