So yesterday I bought a GSP frag but it won't open and the mat isn't purple at all!! Is it normal behavior for this coral? I understand it is really hardy and almost unkillable.

It is in the middle of my tank with medium-high flow.
I temp and drip acclimated it before introducing to the tank.

All help will be appreciated!

GPS is pretty tough stuff, a lot of people don't like it, because it can take over. But I really like it. Give it a couple of days to get used to your param. Though I would drop you salinity a little, to 1.025 or 1.026 and I would get your alk around 8. other than that you should be fine :)
