I actually just posted these same pics in your thread in the zoo forum, but for the softy keepers I'll post em again.

I had one sprig just like you about 7-8 months ago.
Today:

from the back on the right side:

And if you look close down on the far end of the tank, you can see that it has attached itself to my magnet!!!:eek1:

I harvest about six stalks of it every 2 weeks and bring it in to my LFS. It nearly funds my entire tank.

Im bored, one more:

 

[ReefObsessor805]

wow that stuff goes all over the place. I guess it's going to hook me up with some store credit at my LFS! nice.

 

[Cubman777]

yeah, just move your piece close to the glass. Once it gets on the glass, removal is a snap.

So this species is considered Xenia elongota with the common name of Common Pulsing Brown Xenia?
Thanks, Alan.

XEnia is such a cool "coral"

 

[damitchsta]

is there a diffrence in growth between the blue and brown if so wich is faster

 

[ReefObsessor805]

It's been two days since it has been in my tank and it is looking like it is doing very well. It is on the sand bed so it is isolated from the other rock formations and the glass.
If I were to put it by the glass would it spread fairly quickly onto it? I would think that if it would grow onto the glass it would be easier to get it off than on the other pieces of LR.

yeah, just give it a few days and it will attach.
Also, it can be kind of bad to put it on the rocks because it can become a problem later if it really takes to your tank.
