GSP Not Popping Up

[Hungriee]

I had my GSP for about 1.5 months; and for some reason tonight, no polyp popped out. I had the light on from 9PM - 11:30 PM usually it comes out in 10 minutes; today I had the light on, I fed it with phytoplankton and no polyp popped out.

Is it hurt? dead? or dying? or stressed? I saw it pop out yesterday =(

What are your water parameters?

 

[Hungriee]

0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 0 nitrates, 440 PPM calcium, 1.26 Salinity ( I'm thinkng its a bit salty)

1.026 is fine, sometime GSP just close up for a day or a few days at a time. I wouldn't worry once the mat is still in tact and healthy looking, it should come back out soon.

1.26 is way too salty so its probably 1.026. What kind of lighting and flow do you have? I found that my GSP ( it was a hitchhiker) comes out only when my MH are on ( but its a little deeper than a standard tank ) and when there is good flow but not direct.

I'm running T5HO lights ; with 300GPH from my canister, and i also have one koralia 3, one koralia 2, and one MJ1200. The mat is still attached to the rock but still no polyp coming out.
