Glenn,

For me it is a slow grower. But I traded with Jin, and his frag was almost as big as my parent colony after about 4 months. I do not have a calcium reactor. I do not know if that is the trick. Maybe they are just happier in Jin's tank. Actually my colony originally came from Chris (Mojo) as a frag trade for my Yellow Tang.

I always pick the slow growers, darnit...

I am considering the pappone method of feeding corals after some more researech. Anyone doing this now? Some call it the blu coral method.

I might be wrong but I thought Sam (Aquabuys) was using that method at one time. Might check into his thread history.
