ok guys, like i said on my other post*woo hoo* my nitrates are a little below 5.. and everything else in my water is perfect, all the way from calcuim to iron. so i went ahead and got a zoanthid and a star polyp along with a nother false perc so my other one in my tank will have a girl/boy friend. after accumulating everything and putting them in, the zoanthids opened right up, but star's are still closed. like 8 hermits are crawling all over my new corals..and all over my new 5ib. of live rock. it looks like there eating it:nailbiting:. and with the zoanthid i got 60 polyps for 25.99 that a good deal? and like 80 for the stars for 29.99. and when i introduced my new percula he started chasing my first one around(my first one is a bit smaller) i was a bit woried at first, but then after about 4 mins the new one stoped chasing my first guy and now there swimming together and following ea other like there best buds:) gues they were just putting down domonance?

They will close if aggitated. GSP can take sometime to open, so don't stress it... GSP is a weed. The prices sound good for a LFS, so you're good. The hermits aren't eating your corals, they're just nibbling on and around them at other stuff. You're good.

yeah, it's new. Hermits are like ants, and your tank is their hill.
