I tend to find all of my branching type SPS begin to grow at the tips very soon after I put them in my tank and usually take a lot longer to start encrusting on to rock or a frag plug.
I've recently seen a few local reefer's tanks and their SPS tend to do a lot of encrusting at the base before they show much, or any upwards growth.
Is there a reason for this? It's not a problem but I am curious about whether there are any factors that might influence this behaviour.
