    Its been awhile since my last thread.
    Of course these are tough times and i cant afford big frags anymore, i treated myself to 2 Favias, both being 2 heads, its been about a month, both very colourful but only 1 has its sweepers out and i feed it mysis.

    My questions being, how long would it take to grow? to become the size of the palm of your hand. Are they fast growing, or slow?

    Also, the skeleton depth is about an inch, ive place it on a rock, would the heads spread whilst building the skeleton to the same height? or would i have to trim the skeleton for it to spread out evenly? without a bit protruding from the rest

    Probable a couple of years to get to size you are looking at. Feeding them often should greatly increase the process.
