Have a bunch of euphyllia (frogspawn, hammers). They have multiplied 7x over the last few years, but the skeletons don't grow. Will they ever encrust or is the glue I mounted them with all that is ever going to hold them.

Nope, the hard skeleton base will always remain the same, it's when they split and grow out that they create new skeleton, but the hard stalks underneath wont change. Only where theres a polyp and polyp flesh.
