Beretta Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I have a couple of SPS in my tank that aren't really growing "up," but they are growing around the base and in a downward direction covering the aquaputty and rock they are attached to. Is this normal? Do I need to move the corals to encourage upward growth, or just leave them where they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I would think since they're encrusting.....that's a good thing. The larger the base the stronger the colony ( I tend to look at corals like trees---a strong root system it will encourage good growth ---upwards---). Most of my frags that started from 1" to 2 1/2" started to encrust before putting significant up-growth. -Cindy- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
