My gsp done the same thing when I moved the tank . It Just wouldn't open started to flake, lost it's colour and just melted away . I'm glad tho because they are a pita.

Do you have any idea why yours melted?

Not a clue . Moved the tank took out all the sand , changed 50% of the water and it just melted away . Everything else was ok .

Hmm I wonder if moving of the sand and the 50% wc was just too drastic of a change.

Good news my polyps are opening up! Started with one on the perimeter and now about a dozen! Not many but a start

Good news, since moving the GSP away from the Toadstool and adding some carbon, the GSP is now entirely open and looks healthy!

About 2 weeks ago I got my first coral frags, I dipped and acclimated and everything was fine to begin with!

As of now, my toadstool, zoanthid, and mushroom are doing well. As of Wed, my GSP has not opened.. I moved it tonight into a higher flow area and I used a baster to blast the base. Some of the purple tissue is flaking which I noticed with the blasting... Should I be concerned? What else do you suggest?

Nitrates are about 20 ppm and I haven't checked Alk or pH in a little while but I'm assuming they're okay as everything else is looking good..

I’m new as well but mine took a while to open. Then they were open a while and closed for a while again. Sometimes the frag can be dirty or have algae. I think they do their own thing. After a while in the same conditions they seem to have came out and pretty much are always out. Idk if that helped but I think they looked how mine did and are probably fine. Just give more time.
