I have a 6month old sunset montipora that has well since grown over the frag plug.
It’s now beginning to encrust the rock he’s glued to.
The new growth is very light colored. Typically I’ve seen a white rim on the edges as it grows.

I’m making sure I am not harming the coral. The rest of the coral looks awesome. So I’m guessing I’m not bleaching it.

Ideas?

Looks good to me. Keep in mind that it’s going to take over everything it gets its grubby little fingers on…

I truly didn’t expect it to grow faster than gsp, lol

I’ve heard if you increase flow it will scroll a little. Any truth to that?
