OG Bounce Mushroom Bubbles/Vesicles

[ogtumblruser]

Any OG bounce owners could help give me insight, so I got this shroom about a year ago November 20th (see picture) to be exact..
How do these bounces/bubbles look on this after a year?? I fear that the bubbles are so small compared to others, I mean most of them are a no bigger than 1mm except the bigger one in the middle? The mushroom right now is an inch in diameter. Maybe some things I've done to the tank has stunted its growth but other shrooms that ive had longer has gotten so much better over the time and they have seen the worst.
Could I have some hope that these bubbles will get bigger? I know it's still fairly young, or is it? 1 year of growth? is that bad??

1st piicture was listing picture when it was sale
2nd is when I placed it in my tank (November 20th)
3rd is this week

I will note that this was a baby from pedal laceration, not sure if that comes into part. I know most OG owners have some that were cut from a mother and grown out.

Honestly it dosent look that bad, you could try feeding powder coral food mixed with amino acids as in my experience that helps as well as dosing amino acids, another thing that works for me 90% of the time is popping the bubbles with a razor and it usually comes back either multiple times bigger or it makes several bubbles in its place, you could try it on just a smaller bubble as a test.

Thank you so much for the feedback and tip!! I'll have to try this probably at the end of this upcoming week or two. and I will post results!

Have you seen the momma?

You need to look at the momma, and that is probably what it will grow up to look like.

My recommendation is always try to buy one (from a momma that has big and full bubbles) preferably from another reefer that is not a vendor...but more of a hobbyist because they aren't trying to chop it to death to make a quick buck.

I literally sent them a message over the weekend trying to see if they have a picture of the mom haha cheers I should of done that before buying it you're right

SO! I got a picture of the momma, and honestly I'm a little disappointed. I think this "baby" is more pleasing to my eye. I can't wait until it even gets to around two inches. Hopefully it survives another year or so lol

Here's the mother:
