Question about my green acropora

[FugeTown]

I’ve had this green Acro for about 5 weeks now and if you look to the right and left side you notice it’s encrusting onto the liverock. I pictured this coral to grow new branches but it doesn’t seem to be any taller just seems to be encrusting. Is there anybody with this type of Acro that knows if it’ll grow new branches or does it mostly just encrust?

 

[Elegance Coral]

They typically encrust first. It will begin branching out in time. If you notice, some of the polyps around the base are taller than others. Those will continue to get taller, and form branches.

Yes they will encrust first and then grow up and out.

Cool , I can’t wait till it grows out with some branches, it’s got a nice lime green color that’ll look nice in my tank.
