    Obviously, lol. We were on the same page. I think that one week is pretty crazy.

    I have approximately 20 heads and rarely target feed. I'd say on average, it grows 1-2 heads every 4-6 weeks.

    I thought you just told me on my thread that you had high nitrates?

    I think they'll grow well regardless of spot feedings or not. I feed mine maybe twice a week. Had em two months.

    My greenskirts have three heads and each head has two coming in! Introduced at the same time as the blues.

    That was me, but its debateable if my tests have been accurate on that API Master SW Test Kit. I can't zero in on a number of PPM for Nitrates. The color scale is not my friend on the Nitrate test.

    Mine is in about the same place as yours for now (still mobile/not glued). I'll take a pic of mine now...

    I have the shorter stubby tentacles as well but it doesn't signify an unhappy Duncan from what I've seen in other people's pics on the net.

    Correct me if I'm wrong.

    This sounds about like how my did. I was feeding it mysis shrimp a couple times a week back then. I've had it right at a year now, and hardly ever feed it, maybe twice a month. I just took a head count ::) (pun intended) looks like 8 large and 8-10 small ones underneath. Go Slow And Let It Grow.;)
