i am wondering how this coral look like when it is big. i have seen many picture of frags but no picture of one that has many heads on it. do the heads grow close together? or do they grow for away from each other?
 
I have a lot of flow so my heads grow very close together. It forms a nice ball shape about the size of a large grapefruit. My friend has some from me in a low flow area of his tank and the grow much more branch-like, all spread apart.

Here is a close up of mine.

Here is another shot of a frag that shows how close the heads are growing together.

thank you so much for the great pictures and information. now i know. because i am getting a frag of it next week. and i would like the heads to grow close together not seperate. i have high flow in my tank mostly everywere so i am hoping that they are going to grow just like yours. i love the look of the heads being close together and growing like a ball shape
 
This is an old picture, and it's not a big colony but the heads on mine grow close together also.

mine usually doubles in size every 2-3 weeks.
Mine grows very close together as well.
I will get a picture up here soon!
