couple of things
sorry to the original poster if you see someone highjack a thread or put someone down please refer to the stickied post inthe new hobbiest section to report it.
Next putting someone down is not why this board is here and wont be tolerated people know who I am talking about.
next on the GSP they are very touchy corals to start with sometimes go for a long time before they open up I have had them stay closed for almost a month before opening up. you will jsut have to give them timeto adjust.

I have a rock that is completely engulfed with GSP. It is allways the happiest coral in the tank. Full open day and night.....till you move it. Then it stays shut for 2-3 days.
It's barely over a week for yours so far, I'd give it some more time.

See...Like I said it took mine 3 weeks to open..And as far as turning white mine do that when they are spreading..
You will know if they are doing okay if they attach the the rock they are on...instead of just sitting there they will "stick" to it..
