How Come......

How come all your corals grow so thin and have so many branches??
My just grow thicker, thicker and thicker without any branches !!!
I got an angry bird few months back. It was skinny and had three branches. After few months later they grew thicker until all three branches merge into a “pinky” thickness but NO new branches.
This must something to do with flow. I am using two MP40 at each side of my 4 ft tank at 1/3 from the top in the middle.
How to grow thinner but branching SPS?

It could have something to do with your flow, lighting and calcium, alkalinity and magnesium levels.

What are your tank params? SG,alk,cal,mag ???

I think it goes
high flow=thicker branches

Lower flow=thinner

I think it goes
high flow=thicker branches

Lower flow=thinner

Is this true?

Is this true?

Depends on the species, but yea it’s relatively true.
