Here is mine. It's been growing at a pretty good clip. Awesome contrasts.

Mine is in medium light and high flow, but grew a good amount on the sand bed for the first 2 weeks

Not quite 2 months in my tank. Seems to be a pretty good grower so far

if only. :( such is the fate of a mother colony. shell be clipped and clipped again never fully reaching maturity. I try to keep multiple mothers of stuff i really like to help curtail stress and the even worse dormancy but the pretty ones never seem to get big. I vowed to leave my little display alone and have been diligent for over a year now. Lets hope i can keep it up. I confess ther is something a little sad about a large shallow tank full of abused mothers. As opposed to a thriving reef tank left alone to mature:)

must be feeling a bit reflective this AM lol.
I've been playing around with glueing 4-5 small clips on one large disk in different locations. When they all meet growth explodes. I got the idea from a coral spawning research video where they do this to form gaint mother colonies. It's working on my icefire.

Yes, it does work and growth is much faster than one frag of stick, I usually cut the stick in half and in time the two sticks are combined which will form a healthy encrusted layer, then boom, it will take off from there. The nice part besides the growth the part you cut will blossomed to more branches, like a rose stem being trimmed and growing more stems.
