I have the same kind as you. I started off with one stalk attached to an Acropora frag. I now have it growing on the side of my tank glass and overgrowing a neighboring piece of live rock. I have about 25 stalks now!!!! Iodine, good water flow and decent lighting are key-plus they don't like very warm water temperatures!

thanks guys, for the video I turned the power head off so it would pulse more. They look like little trees swaying in the wind, lol. Hopfully they will take off and I will have a whole tank full . I already notices some new heads, and its only been two days so that show how fast it grows.
