Explain this growth

More dominant flow down and to the right of the picture?

 

Too much light

 

Do you think so? It's much more red in person, for what it's worth. Colors always wash out with my camera phone.

 

I"m sure color is good and obviously the coral is growing. It's just trying to grow to a happier place.

 

Is it splitting? It looks like it's splitting or growing down to me. I'm not familiar with the coral so I'm sure Daniel is right, he usually is

 

Thanks. I just wanted to clarify that so know assumptions were made. We know what they say about those darn assumptions.

Should I turn my LEDs down then or let it continue to grow how is? I don't want to stress it or the other SPS in that general area/height. They are probably in the 30%-40% output range now. Everything looks great and is growing.

 

When I bought it it had a plate-like feature growing outward and then dipped down and started plating again. Now it's growing down again (and to the side, obviously).

A profile view gives it the appearance of a stair case.

 

I would leave as is. You can't make adjustments based on one coral...

 

It could be your LED lighting is too intense for the coral of you have a good flow coming up from the bottom toward the coral.

 

I have two power-heads in each corner facing forward towards the front-center glass. The coral is on the top rock, positioned in the center of the tank (about where the two power-heads come together).
