Montipora Setosa growth shots.

[philfree]

One of my favorite SPS corals is the Montipora setosa.
Some say its a "slow grower". Others say it grows fast for them.
Lets see some Setosa growth shots!!!
Here is mine. Preset (7/29/15) compared to 3/8/15, almost 6 months of growth.

nice!
What the time between the two?

 

[reefndude]

2 years maybe more. Started out as a 1/2" frag, now about 4"×4"

Been cut a few times. Growth started out fast, now not so much. I do love this piece, adds some nice color
