    Thanks, I'm hoping the polyps starting to open is a good sign. I read where some have taken a week to start opening up.

    I have a huge colony of these with about 5 frags the size of golfballs. I origanally was going to sell them to my local LFS. They seem to do well everywhere. I love this coral. It is not as invasive as GSP but it still grows very fast in my tank. When its closed it looks like blue broccoli. It doesn't mat like GSP they are more like blue blobs. The polyps are white on the back so when they close it looks like a wave goes through it.8)
