Thanks!
So much for “you need high Alk for fast SPS growth”!
Seems normal to me. Mine has tripled in size in around 3 months easily the fastest growing coral in my tankI got this piece back in February and it has definitely grown really fast. I’m aware that it’s known to be a fast grower, but is this typical? While it has encrusted a good bit, the tips are continuing to get longer and longer without any new branches forming from the base. Second pic shows the frag when I acquired it.
Amazing looking acro!I got this piece back in February and it has definitely grown really fast. I’m aware that it’s known to be a fast grower, but is this typical?

Should have kept my mouth shut…. Woke up a rockslide and my bill murrey ended up on top of my lobo and killed the whole colony
Oh no! Had that happen a couple months ago. Snail knocked over a rock that has a colony of bubble gum digi and it landed on my TNT Anacro colony. Luckily the only only damage was a few small branches breaking off of each. My local buddie’s were happy though as they got some frags
Definitely one of my favorites as well…the colors are just mmmmm. I honestly don’t mind this growth pattern but I’m just wondering how it’s going to table out if it ever does….looking like it might be using the original growth as it’s base and start fanning out from the top.
That’s a good problem to have. I have bone cutters on hand and a few local reefers anxiously waitingMine took forever to kick off but once it started it grew so fast it became an issue of making sure I had enough room for it.
Gotta love sps, we want them to grow so badly but once they start to take off you have a whole new set of issues.
That’s awesome! Very fast grower, this one. Looks like mine is doing what it does. Thanks for the insight.Looks normal to me!! They like to grow up then out (table)
Mine grew like this-
3/17/24
7/24/24
A different growth on this one...
7/6/23, OG frag I got, I broke a small piece off and thats the little nub on the right
Grew to these on 3/17/24
And the little nub has since grown to this as of 7/24/24
alk 8.5
ca 440
mg 1350
no3 10
po4 .08
par ~450
This is why, as part of my “reset”, I decided to go with corals that are in high demand so that someone will want frags. Nothing like throwing out large chunks of coral cuz nobody wants them…Mine took forever to kick off but once it started it grew so fast it became an issue of making sure I had enough room for it.
