So I Have a green Goni just sitting on the sand skeleton to the sand. Will it grow wide or do I need it on a rock for it to encrust? Also Will it grow faster on different surfaces.

On.Ok! Should I Just stick it on the rock or next to it
@T-J could you share what your PAR numbers are? And, what you would consider "Good" flow. I have mine at about 200 PAR and quite a bit of flow. What do you consider "pretty darn fast", emperically? Also, share some of your pertinent parameters? Thank you.My Goni's grow pretty darn fast. Good flow and light seems to do them well. I have both long tentacle, short tentacle and micro Gonis.
I mount them to rock. Most of them grow in a golf ball shape.
Generally Goni's can touch, but the red/pink ones seem to be the exceptions. I had my pink one sting and kill a beautiful tan/green goni when they touched.
I keep mine in 200-250 par. I have 2 MP40's on my 120g tank. Currently in Reef Crest mode. Some of the Gonis get moved around quite a bit (the micro and short tentacle ones get higher flow).@T-J could you share what your PAR numbers are? And, what you would consider "Good" flow.

Thanks for that. So, that is comparable in growth to mine. Maybe a bit more. So, I'm not too far off, growthwise.I keep mine in 200-250 par. I have 2 MP40's on my 120g tank.

Growth: Here's a pic of my pink Goni. Pics are about 1 year apart. For reference, the left pic is a standard size frag plug. The skeleton under the tentacles on the right pic is larger than a golf ball.

I’ve always kept mine between 8-9. I don’t have any experience in lower alk.Do they seem to grow better in higher alk?
