So mine seems to be growing alright. I have gone from 1 polyps to about 5 in 3 months. The oldest polyps is about 4 to 5 times bigger then the green button polyps right next to it. Now I have a question is there a way to get more white in it. Mine barley have any white at. I have them on the sand bed under 150 MH 14K. Do they like more light?
 
mine are about mid way in the tank under metal halides

the lower you have them and the more shade you have them in, the more white and light blue you will see develop.
 
mine are on the sand under 150 MH but they are in direct light. I will move them over so they are shaded by the powerhead. Would like to get some white in them. They dont have much.
 
those are nice. I have some blundell buttons that look similar to those. They just have more blue to them. Kind of slow growers though.
 
My cinnamons are slow but I have another type of grandis that the adults have a blue/green coloring to them and those are really realy slow growers. I got two polyps about 3 months ago. they came off the frag disk and achored them self in a hole on a rock while I was out of town for a couple of days. Now I can not get them out and when they open you can not see their stems. I hope they will have babies but I don't think the babies will ever get light.
 
The more you feed them the more then grow, I had some that grew to slightly larger than a 1/2 dollar coin.
 
mine seemed to keep more white/blue color when kept in lower light also i found that mine liked low current as well..i feed mine 3 times a week and that helped with growth
this pic is when i had them up about mid way and in higher current

Hey andrew , is that cinnamon paly grandi same with the grandis you trade with me couple month ago ? mine color up like the pix above already under highlight
 
No I have cinnamons and some green blue grandis. I have never cut the cinnamons. I started with one. Now I have 4. I am waiting till there are at least 8-10 to cut it or it gets bigger then the plug.
 
here are mine... they have been on the sand bed ever since I got them... they were bleached (all white) when I got them but they colored up pretty nice... ;)

Mine likes MH lighting. They shrink on T5.

Rommel of Ultimatefrags dot com will have some of my grandis for sale soon.
 
These are just my regular grandis. I traded out the adults and kept the babies. they have doubled in size. I just wish they where not where they are because I dont know if they will ever make more because their base never gets light. It is in the hole of the rock. Over the past week their color is starting to come out.
