GSP is the weed of corals and it will grow in almost any conditions. Give it some time and it should open. I have had some cutting of a larger colony die on me but you know it when its dead, the purple base with crumble when touched and is no longer firm and slick. Yep thats right I killed GSP frags, dont know how. They will ramdomly close up for several days at a time for no apparent reason then open up in full green glory just as randomly.
