My M-coral(second pic) grows just closely to the ground。Not like wings in the air in the first picture。i've no idea why。because of low waterflow or high light level?fogive my poor english。thanks!

How long have you had it? It takes a little while to spiral out like that.
 
first pic is not mine,the second is.lol
i wanna know how it grows like that. rotate it once a while?
 
It looks like yours is a frag, the top is a larger specimen. As they grow, they will naturally respond to their environment including light and flow and can branch out, spiral out, etc. nothing to do, but to watch it grow :)
 
I know that. That's why i asked how long you have had your frag as it takes time to spiral like the first pic. Don't rotate it.
got it!i thought something wrong with it,finally something wrong with me,lack of patience

understood by your reply,thank.otherwise l learnt a word from you,"spiral".we call the coral grow from ground to the air qi fei in chinese,means take off just like plane or bird takes off.thanks!
 
it needs high light and high flow and it will grow fast and thick and strong. If the light and flow are too low, it will grow slow and thin.
 
Stable lighting, flow and parameters and just wait. It’ll eventually take off. Then you’ll regret it spiraling out of control.
