Strange Green Star Polyp Behavior

[MLS]

I have 2 small colonies of GSP in my tank. One at either end. About 5 days ago, both colonies closed up. Yesterday, both were showing some "interest" in re-emerging, but hid again. This morning both started again, came out 1/2 ways and as fast as they came out they are back in again.

I ruled out placement as they are at opposite ends of the tank and seem to be showing this behavior identical in 2 different colonies.

What has be baffled is both colonies doing the exact same thing in unison. All other corals are fine?

Parameters are SG 1.025, Am 0ppm, Nitrites 0ppm, nitrates 0ppm, pH 8.1 and calcium 400pm.

That's normal behavior the adapting to your tank, mine take about 7 days to go out, i almost throw then away cause i didn't know what they were, and now is one of the nicest coral in my tank.

Keep then isolated from your rockscape cause they spread really easy and everywhere.

Yes normal. They will also close up for a few days here and there for no apparent reason...

Thanks everyone for your input! They are my favorite and hate to loose them.

Are they new additions to the tank?

They have been in there for 2 months. Today they finally opened again.
