green star polyp wont open

[drd]

i bought a cpl frags yesterday from my lfs. one is a candy cane and the other is a christmas flavia the green star polyp is a free bee but has not opened the other two have opened and look real nice but not the gsp this is the same thin happens when i try zoas the lighting is an 18pc 10k with atinic blue a small water change was done after the frags were added the tank is a nano cube 6 gallon with live rock and live sand. i know the lights are ok ofr soft corals and lps but cant get zoas to open belived that the tank is too clean but now I am wondering if it is something else the gsp is well established so i need to figure this out before any more soft corals are added or lps

My GSP took several days to open when I moved it. How long has it been?

I got a frag of gsp to test things out in my tank about 1 1/2 months ago and it took atleast 1 week to fully open. Someone told me that iodine it the key to open them up, just like xenia.

Just to give you some input it took four days for mine to open but they haven't stopped growing since. Just give them a little more time.

GSP is like a weed! You can literally just drop it in your tank and it will attach to something and grow like crazy. Mine is on they glass so closes up every time i clean or use my mag float. I wouldn't worry at all. Give it time.

Mine won't open if calcium is under 400. It's odd, but true. It's my calcium canary!

i second that they are like weeds.. no way to kill them.. just give it some time. they'll eventually open.. it took mine a couple of days to open..

Yet some how all mine just melted, while everything else is doing great....
