There could be a number of reasons why a green star polyp coral is not opening. Some common causes include stress from water quality issues, lack of food, or disease. It's also possible that the coral is simply in a resting phase. If you are concerned about the health of your coral, it's recommended to consult with an aquarium specialist or marine biologist who can help diagnose and address the issue.

Checking the water's parameters, such as temperature, pH, salinity, and nitrate levels, is the first step in ensuring the health of your coral. Verify that the water is adequately circulated and aerated and that the levels are suitable for the variety of coral. Additionally, you must feed your coral a variety of tiny things, including phytoplankton, brine shrimp, and other tiny creatures. Additionally, it's critical to look for illness indicators like tissue damage or odd colour. If you are worried, it is advised that you speak with a marine scientist or aquarium specialist who can help identify and resolve the problem.
