Fairy Dust growth

[jpond83]

i got some fairy dust paly's from gabes about a week ago. I started with 3 heads and now i got 7. This is the fastest growing paly i have ever seen.

Could be... remind me of mohawk growth rates (when healthy).

yeah, I got some Fairy Dust from Mizeny awhile back and they are the fastest grower in my tank, they are kind of like a weed.

When I first purchased this coral from zack @ The Digital Fishroom (2-3 polyps) I was not impressed. I called him and told him he sent me the wrong frag because it looked brown and ugly. He promised me it was the frag I purchased, he siad to put it on High Light. Now they want to take over my tank. I have them growing between my SPS and they seem to play well. They are so colorful and I even have some the size of a Nickle maybe even a quarter. They would cover a ugly overflow in a few months:)

mine are little browned out right now but they are coloring up fast. they grow faster than my texas trash palys.

lol, yeah seriously...nothing grows faster in my tank than these guys. If they are in mid light they will color up. Mine were washed out under direct MH light....then I moved them mid reef and they took off. They are pretty but not sure why they hold their price considering how fast they grow.

I wish mine would grow like you guys say! everything else does..

[ErikH]

Mine are growing very fast too!

im getting a polyp almost everyday. Does anyone have any good pics of them all colored up?

[jpond83]

9 polyps now. they are coloring up now. I wish i had better lighting. I want L.E.D.

jpond83, where about do you have yours in the tank and under what lighting..?

[jpond83]

i keep mine mid tank, at the top, under a 70w viper metal halide. theres a good amount of flow there too.
