Good pickup. I have one that just refuses to grow. I'm having great luck with ever other coral in my tank, I just can't get that one to grow at all!
I definitely seem to be in the minority though.

Beautiful! Can you tell me about placement, lighting, flow, etc??
Low to medium flow, same with lighting. I'm running T5's 4x24w on my 26g. Likes a more nutrient rich water. I also target feed every now an then.

Nice addition!
Feed it and it will grow! The more you do the faster it will grow
Rods Complete, Reef Frenzy and Coral Extacy are the big 3 for my LPS.Sent from my iPhone 4s via Tapatalk.

just ordered me some reef frenzy but i normally spot feed mysis or something similar. they dont eat much cause they stay closed up mostly. is there something you do to make them open up or a particular time of day?
Well like with most LPS they put sweepers out at night to feed. This is when I feed the heaviest. But you can also train them to eat during the day. Just continue spreading food on top of the closed polyp. They'll soon get the idea
Now mine are open all the time Pic under the Lunars

Thanks for the advice nana. I will start the new way of feeding ASAP.
The sweepers on the Trumpet are not long at all, quarter inch maybe.
