is montuipora setosa a fast grower?

[brob22]

i just added this to my tank and know nothing about the coral

 

[leporinus]

Grows pretty fast for me.I would consider it one of my fastest growers.

 

[tankaddict]

Yeah, grows fast for me also.

 

[dvanacker]

One of the slowest or THE slowest montipora in my tank.

Mine began very slowly but perhaps my constantly moving it around could have attributed to that. Once I found a suitable place for it [in my case, on the bottom] and it settled in, it began to take off. Grows pretty quickly for me now.

 

[Whisperer]

Slooooooow for me.

I have mine midway in tank w/ medium light works best. Not as fast grower as my Monti Caps but still good growth.

 

[gig]

i always thought it was a slower grower compared to other monti's, once reason it tends to cost more than others as well.

 

[chrishayes]

Yeah, mine is growing but not in a measurable way...definately the slowest in my tank.

 

[lolgranny]

+1 on mine being one of the slower montis in the tank

 

[brob22]

thanks for the responses

would u say that it likes the same light requirements as a regular montipora?
thanks again guys

All my montiporas grows fast except setosa. In about five months its just covered it's plug.

Mine has gone from 1/4" nub to about 3" in all directions in slightly less than 1 year. I consider it a "medium speed growth" coral.

Out of the all the monitpora in my tank, my setosa is the slowest grower. Some of my acros grow faster than that thing.

 

[Wayner2]

Mine grows pretty fast

 

[acroholicreefer]

Really slow grower for me. Even though it grows vertically very slow, the setosa encrust much faster on the rock work.

 

[REEF SMAC]

Slow compared to any other monti I've ever had.

 

[chefzif]

Setosa, is one of the slower growing corals, location in each system will also dictate coral growth, I found lower in the system the better. IMO

Mine grows pretty fast IMO for me. I started with a nub last December and now it is a bit larger than a golf ball, about 10 months later. Mine is placed very low in the tank.
