Default Star Polyps

Do Star Polyps stay retracted for long periods? Mine were doing great then yesterday retracted and have not come out since. is this norm, or bad?

Its not unusual for them to do that . But if you see any algae on or around them or other stuff That will keep them from opening and then you just need to take a soft tooth brush and clean them off. If they are not open by tomorrow I'd clean them and also check on the water parameters ..
