are they slow grower? i got mine bleached, now turning brown with green. Still waiting on the blue/purple tip.
To be honest I'm not sure. I'd ask Cody [MENTION=3628]BeanMachine[/MENTION] I know he grow a nice size colony from a frag.

It needs a lot of light and flow. Stable params. Once mine encrusted a lot it took off but Id say yes slow grower. Browns kinda easy too.

Well another up date. Decided to add all 4 of the ethereal lights to the tank to see if i can get better growth. I'm pretty sure it's way over kill but eff it I always say. So here's a fts

Left side

Right side

Here's how I did the lights
Side view

Front view

I angled the front lights towards the back to see if I can get better lighting on the fronts of the corals. Then slightly angled the back lights towards the front so I don't get a whole lot of light shining down on the back wall of the tank.
Personally I can't see a big difference in adding the 4th light but maybe just maybe I'll see better growth on the corals.

eric the scrubber helped you get rid of the gha?
I've got a few spots still but so far is help keeping it under control. I got a sea hare to eat the hard to get spots. But now I'm starting to get red turf algae back. This week I'm going to order a big bottle of vibrant liquid aquarium cleaner to see if it help with rta

I have a friend that has/had tons of gha and he's been dosing vibrant twice a week and his gha is turning white and coming off much easier.
