Please help Add some cheato algae into your tank. This will speed up the growth. Link to comment
krackerjacksna Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Add some cheato algae into your tank. This will speed up the growth. Already there, feed mysis once a week, I'll be patient , my Duncan's grow out of control, hope the same on these some day Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 What kind o lighting and flow do you have them under? Link to comment
GokesReef Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Already there, feed mysis once a week, I'll be patient , my Duncan's grow out of control, hope the same on these some day Try feeding once a day.. and get some variety in there. Link to comment
krackerjacksna Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 4 t5 bulb, lower part of the aquarium, with medium flow, should I try blood worms, brine shrimp? Coral frenzy, suggestions please Link to comment
GokesReef Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 LPS seem to like meatier foods.. cyclopeeze would be a nice supplement, other types of shrimp, go to your LFS and peek around in the frozen section. What they have in stock will always trump what we suggest Link to comment

DaJMasta Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Make sure your alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels are high enough, if they're low then it is difficult for the coral to put down new skeleton. If you're feeding regularly (though more often wouldn't hurt) then I'd suspect it's more lighting related, how old are the bulbs? Link to comment

To the OP: blasto's grow slowly but increasing your feeding should help. I fed mine Rod's Food several times a week That said, it seemed to depend on the individual - had many under identical care with some growing and some not. Link to comment
