    How do you measure growth? Do you want how long it takes for a new polyp to grow?

    I recently got my first acan (aussie lord) so I'm watching this thread (mine hasn't grown at all yet ;))


    So, um, I'd like to know how fast new polyps grow ;D

    Well either way you would like to describe it will work for me. I would like to get one and wonder if I should get a colony or a frag.

    Get a frag..colonies are VERY expensive. I feed mine krill and it is fairly fast growth. I have had this one for a couple months and there are new polyps popping up all over. But I have a colony and couple frags and they multiply fairly fast I would say the frags have at least doubled in number in 2-3 months. Colony has over 40+ polyps on it
