I purchased an Alveopora frag a few weeks ago (just a few days after the colony was fragged). It is approximately one inch square and about a half inch tall (see pic). Can some experienced LPS reefers tell me how this thing might grow? Will it just grow a big calcium ball with polyps on the surface? Or does it branch?
Related to growth habit, do you have a preference between sand (on a frag plate) or rock placement? Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.
Note: I include this pic so one can see the initial skeleton size and shape. It is now beautifully extended every day, looks to even have new, little polyps on the edges of the frag, so hopefully it is doing well.
