ive said this for a long time , i promote some of my growth to fragging. i find the freshly made colonies and the mother go through growth spurts when i do it.

i figure the shock to the corals stimulates reproduction and a growth spurt.

this is just what im finding nothing to back it up but my own eyes lol
