I saw someone say that if digis get lower flow they will grow thin branches. Got me thinking about different SPS and the different growth patterns related to flow.

Is there are resource that lays out the different, common growth patterns related to flow?

I know generally, we would want high alternating flow for most if not all SPS, but for some it can difficult. A resource of common growth patterns would also help one identify if a change up of the flow is needed in order to better suit their corals even if growth is occurring.

Anyone else have any information, anecdotal or otherwise, regarding different growth patterns related to flow for their stonies?

Pics of growth on a digi frag i got about 6 weeks ago.

His videos are great, aren't they? Always look at my frags making sure polyps are moving most of the time on his suggestion from this video.
