Coral Growth Patterns

[GobyMan]

I have had my formosa for about a month now and am seeing signs of growth. The base of the frag is encrusting and on its way to covering the epoxy I used to secure it to the rock. I was wonder what to expect in how the coral grows from this point. Does it "sprout" new branches from the encrusting base, or just keep encrusting its way along?

 

Here is growth at almost a month in the tank...

 

 

Thanks for your help!!

Stonies grom from the tips out. So if you get any branches going you will see them "sprout" on the tip of the coral.

 

The base will get thicker as the piece gets taller but no other growth than that.
