PJBilotta Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'm running a 30 gallon system with a mix of softies and LPS that is a little over a year old. The first coral added was a small frag of Green Star Polyps that has since grown into a beautiful, healthy colony. This past week, all polyps suddenly retracted. The mat still seems pink and healthy, but a polyp or two are only poking out sporadically. All other softies, LPS and fish are thriving, and water parameters are normal. The only change was the addition of a small frag of war coral favia added two days before the GSP's went south. Anyone know why this hardiest of corals might have reacted in this manner? Seems odd that my zoas, shrooms and favias are doing so well, but the GSP's so suddenly took a nosedive. Might there be some chemical warfare going on with the new war coral? And, do I just be patient and wait for the GSP to rebound? Thanks for any advice you can provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayTheSavageFraser Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Be patient. Yes they are one of the hardiest. I have had mine close up for no apparent reason before too and then they come back. Clay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
