Hydnophora not growing

[foundnemo11]

I have a hydnophora that hasent grown at all in over a year.

All of my other sps are doing good and growing . I have a mostly sps tank and no problems with anything not growing.

What do these corals need ? I feed reef chili every few days. My parameters are perfect. I have reefbreeder leds ( which are more than enough)

Do they like low flow? I have a jebao wp40 which creates a lot of flow

Mine started off amazing but over the last few months it started to STN and just looks like crap

Yeah mine did grow a little when i had aquatic life t5 and no flow before i upgraded all y stuff.. Then juat stopped. It looks good and has good polyp extension just not getting any bigger

I had one that started out well but once I started adding more sps corals, it started declining. Hydnophora was one of the first corals added to my tank btw. I think maybe chemical warfare had something to do with it. I would add more carbon, maybe that can help.

Yeah i dont run carbon .. Dont really have enough space for a reactor unless there is a in water kind

Be happy it's not taking off, I had an encrusting hydnophora and it destroyed some nice coral before I decided to get rid of it

you can run carbon passively in your sump in a filter bag.

Yeah I know I did before but didn't really like it.. I would rather run a reactor
