    That's weird my red planet is one of the fastest growers. I'll get some growth sequence pics when I get home.

    some growth pictures, before and after would be appreciated
    glad its getting back on track for you

    I always find that my corals look at their best for 24- 48 hours after the weekly water change of 10%, which is my main reason for continuing to perform them

    Really most of the growth was in a 4-6 week period. I went through a period where nothing was growing. I had to get rid of the clown goby too.. he was eating all my SPS polyps.
    I'll get a newer pic when I get home since it's grown a lot more in the past month.
    On page one is current straight down pic but you can't see how tall it is.

    I've had mine for a couple months. A couple of corals I bought at the same time have really taken off. The red planet, on the other hand, has spent all this time encrusting the plug with very little vertical or outward growth. I noticed a new branch starting to develop so maybe it is getting ready to launch.

    That sounds normal. .mine was growing a base for a long time. Once it feels comfy it will start sprouting skyward. ;D
