Chile pepper monti advice please

Could someone give me some pointers on what this coral needs to be happy? The polyps are extended but this frag has literally grown nothing since I got it 6 months ago. My acros and monti cap are growing like crazy but this thing just sits there. Thanks

Same as any encrusting monti, high light high flow. If my memory serves me right this coral is a slow grower, same as the montipora undata.

Mine was idle for abou the same time and then just started to encrust out of the blue. But when it did start to grow it was as Crabs mentioned. . . slow.

High light and flow like Crabs said.
