It's certainly acceptable growth. But, all SPS will grow at different rates. Generally the rarer more colorful pieces don't grow at all, and the brown ones shoot out the top of the tank in a month :)

The fact that it is growing at all makes it an acceptable growth rate :lol:

That is great growth, I have had more spectacular growth rates on some acros but every coral is different and what is great growth for some could be "nearly dead" for others




*edit* Brad beat me to it lol

Theyre melting away. My 2 other brains look fine. But my 2 wellso brains are dying. It might be because of high phosphates. Been battling cyano for 2 weeks. Have had Gfo in a reactor running for 6 days now and it doesn't seem to be helping

someone just brought a elegance to me that was also melting away its now starting to recover, maybe bring the brains to someone and see if you can get something for them untill you get the phos down??

Acceptable? That is really good growth. It will be a mini colony in under a year.
