So i've got this milli, supposed to be rmf acid trip but i don't know for sure. Since i got the frag 2.5 years ago, it has grown very little, no encrusting but a few new projections.



I've had one other coral that was nearly this stubborn that finally took off after 2 yrs, but just wondering if i should move it or be patient. And if i move it, high or low? It's pretty high right now.

That's a tough one. I have a coral that brown out and I've been trying to move it around. I usually try to give it 3 months before moving it but in your case, over 2 years is a long time. You say you have it high right now, is it high light or high flow or both? IME, if you have a coral in high flow, it'll tend to encrust more because it needs a good footing before it'll start to grow upwards.

I have mine in high light good flow. Growth is slow. Faster than what u have experienced but slow in general. Put it this way I made 2 frags for rap 6 months ago. It's hasn't grown enough for me to make one for max.

I'd let it be.

Sometimes it just need a change to kick start it. I think you should keep the same light intensity. Do you dose anything? Maybe start doing Amino if you hadn't. I used Red sea A and B stuff and I can tell my sps growth faster than before dosing.
