SRC Member peacemaker Posted January 6, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have had my GSPs for about a year now, and they have a habit of withdrawing for a few days or even to a week before re-opening again. I'm not sure if this is its nature, but just be on the safe side, check your water perimeters to see if they are ok. Mine likes high flow and stronger lighting.

Senior Reefer yikai Posted January 6, 2009 Senior Reefer Share Posted January 6, 2009 star polyps like to sway violently in the current. place it somewhere with good flow to let the polyps sway in the current. it will stimulate them to open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
