    update: its been awhile so time for a new pic, he really has not slowed down much and it won't be long before it actually starts growing on the rock off the plug.

    New growth spurt.

    I don't know what went on with this guy the past 2 weeks, but it just took off, I just noticed today and I was amazed, some of the branches are almost as big as the mother branch.

    Nice growth, my valida is encrusting but not branching. Hoping it will start to show colors like yours soon.
