Once they know they are going to Maries house I think they start growing in the bag on the way.

I measured the growth of a birdsnest for an online course I took through reefs.org. I had 2" of growth on it in 12 weeks, which I thought was pretty darn good. That was just a single branch though, the rest of it was also filling in. Thats about the fastest growing coral I've ever had. Slowest was a pink stylophora. They're pretty dense corals so they're putting down a lot of calcium during growth.


+1 for Snappy (CoralMaster) great frags and great service. Theres a link to him in the vendor forum
