neon green trumpet coral

[CoralFragAddict]

Whats up, just picked up this frag last week and one of the heads inflated so much im wondering if its a problem, the other head stayed about the same size. The pic I posted was during moonlight process and they both closed up a little. Is it common for one to grow like crazy and the other head takes its time?

I bought a frag like that that now has like 20 heads and turning into kind of a ball. It puts it feeder tentacles out at night in my tank.

I'm fairly new to corals, but isn't trumpet an LPS?

I had thought a trumpet was a LPS as well

Hey there.

Caulastrea corals like trumpet and candy cane are LPS.

You'd do better to ask the question here:http://reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=332

But to answer your question, sometimes polyps will extend more than others. This doesn't mean much of anything and it is not considered growth. Growth on a trumpet coral will be reflected by new heads appearing. The polyps don't get much bigger.
