My Nuclear GSP has recently started curling.
My params are perfect. The only thing I can think of is that I have new light. Maybe it is too bright?

My reef is pest free and zero visible algae. Other corals look plump and amazing.
The only other suspect is ultra low nutrients.
Dosing Brightwell Coral Aminos once per week at recommended dose.

Not sure. Went back to normal after a few months. I suspect it was cuz I increased lights
 
My GSP islands did that when I increased the lights.
 
GSP comes in many shapes and this is a very normal contour ive seen over the years.
Why does it change shape?
The Green Star Polyps Coral is a great indicator of your water quality. If you’ve noticed any unusual behavior check the PH and alkalinity. they do respond to iodine and iron in the water and when it comes to water flow, moderate to high flow will give you the best results as you dont want detritus settling on them.
