Do Hallucinations grow for anyone? Mine have seemed the same since I got them, maybe gained a little size?

They look beautiful! How long have you had them? Did you buy the frag with that many polyps originally?

I've def had a hard time getting them to grow. Tried them multiple times from multiple sources and they have been very sensitive for me.

I think I have a single polyp hanging on but not thriving. Be happy yours look happy.

IMO, this is why they hold their value.

It usually takes years to really get them rolling. I had a 2p for about a year before it started adding polyps. Over the course of the next few years I was able to get several colonies going. They benefit tremendously from targeted feeding with any sort of reef roid like product.

Exactly my experience as well.

Black-sliding and stalls are the two most frustrating things about hallucinations. They really are one of my absolute favorites.

Waiting hoping to get a pass back from a buddy on my original strain. Lost it about a year and a half ago post move. I've honestly tried 3 other strains with not sustained success.

But when they're happy? Man oh man is it a sight.

@personwafish I'd be happy to get to look at that every evening lol. Keep up the good work!
