They don't all grow fast. I have some that grow painfully slow. I have two frags that I've had for 2 years that haven't grown any significant amount. Besides that, the less I mess with things the faster they grow. The KISS theory goes a long way.

I am not the KISS extremist that you are Doug! Your particular KISS theory gives me nightmares!

Just a note, that Purple Frilly gorgonian just right of middle grows really well for me. I frag it regularly to keep it the same size otherwise it would overgrow the tank. I have fragged off probably just about the same amount that is there, so it has almost doubled in 2 years. My other photosynthetic gorgs are typical gorgs and don't grow very fast at all.

It really is beautiful and that's just from the pictures. I'm sure it's absolutely stunning in person.

i couldnt get any growth from my purple frilly gorgs i ended up making a bunch of frags for people i hope they did better for them then me...lots of PE but no real height, maybe it was just the tank at the time lol

speaking of not messing with anything, I went to move some zoo's today, cause they looked like they were stretching to get past my palys for light, and there was easily 50 heads on the frag compared to 10 when I bought it 3 months ago! so I just moved it slightly into the light, but other then that, yeah dont mess with anything like they say! It works lol.
