Reef Sanctuary - View Single Post - What makes corals GROW?

JT101,
Have you tried pulsating xenia? It can grow fast like a weed, given the right conditions of light, current, etc. I have a problem with the corals growing too fast... They seem to be motivated to grow fast to take over territory so that they can get the most light and shade out their neighbors. Wondering how big is your tank?
