bcarrillos Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Ive had my GSP for over a year, and it hasn't grown much. What can I do for the polyps to grow longer? I've seen some beautiful long gsp. Below is a picture of how mine currently look. Link to comment

Screen-Shot-2017-02-02-at-3.29.39-PM.jpg That's not the normal GSP you are thinking of, I know what your talking about, I have some growing like crazy in my tank. (I keep it on my back glass only so I can control it) That is certainly a Green Star Coral of some sort, but not your regular fast growing GSP. Can someone else perhaps Put an ID on this for him? It does not look familiar to me, and this looks nothing like mine. Link to comment

bcarrillos Posted February 3, 2017 Author Share Posted February 3, 2017 I think you have Sympodium coral instead of GSP. I was looking at some pictures of Sympodium coral, but it doesn't really look like mine. Link to comment
pal Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I was looking at some pictures of Sympodium coral, but it doesn't really look like mine. I have Sympodium and gsp. I think it looks like gsp when it is just starting to grow. Link to comment

Andy73 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I have the same issue with my GSP not growing/slowly --- following along to find a solution Link to comment
travoose Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Following just out my pure interest in GSP. Link to comment
pal Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 I have a gsp wall that is healthy , I also have a couple unhappy sections that looks just like your photo. the unhappy sections are from my bubble tip stinging it and where my crab picks at it for algae. So my guess would be something is irritating it , Link to comment
Clown79 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 My gsp really enjoyed higher light and higher flow and nothing near it that can sting it. Link to comment
Sunstar Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 you may want to entertain he possibility of an encrusting gorgonian. I think i have some, its super slow growing and I have GSP which is super fast growing. Link to comment
bcarrillos Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 My gsp really enjoyed higher light and higher flow and nothing near it that can sting it. I once tried to move it closer to the light, and with higher flow. But it wouldn't open up. Until I brought it down again it opened back up. Link to comment
