| 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. ------------- Steve http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40637&PID=356246" rel="nofollow - My Old 180G Mixed Reef Currently: 120G Wavefront Mixed 29G Seahorse & Softies Running ReefAngel Plus x2 435-8 |

| 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. |
