My gsp has retracted but my other corals are fine and dandy. My params are good. I just checked them on Monday. What could be going on?

1.025, alk 9.6, calcium around 400, pH is normal and everything like nitrate and nitrite are zero. I will go take a picture now.



Some of the polyps are half way out now, as you can see.

IS the GSP your only soft coral? Sometimes mine starts looking a little under the weather and I just dose a little Iodide and it perks right up.

i would not worry about it, its probably pissed off for something, if everything doing fine it should recover. How long has it been like this?

A day or two. It'll show some polyps half way sometimes.

I concluded that there wasn't enough flow over it. I moved it near a corner where there is a little more flow and the polyps almost immediately came out. We'll see what it looks like tomorrow.
