Ok I am curious when a coral is considered a fast grower how much growth should a hobbyist see in say a month? Also what does anyone else think about snipping off a tip of a frag that seems to be in limbo to get it started growing? I thought that I had read that being done to get a coral going. I have a piece of raspberry lemonade that has encrusted just alittle bit but just hasnt done much of anything in the 6 months or so that I have had it. I also have a slimmer that it encrusting pretty good but hasnt started to branch out from the original piece. On the other had I have a pearlberry that has grown maybe 1/2 inch or so in the last 2 months or so.
thanks
Jeff
