Have you tried singing to it? Mine grows well... Stupid kole tang is constantly breaking it though but then I have frags to sell. I have my red digi very low now so it doesn't grow so fast.

We put some in our LPS system and its doing amazing.

It seems to hate conditions that acro's thrive under.

Mine just gets faded, spindley and dies. Maybe they need higher nutrient systems?

I had problems with it until I started dosing Strontium. But then again, it could have just coincided with my tripling the bioload overnight.

nope

3 months be for it was this

one of my favorite corals, and always will be, digi grows like a bad weed and if you keep the alk slightly higher than normal the color really pops.

Well, based on the algae I see all over the rock, I'd say the nutrient level was good for growing digi.
