Turbinaria growth rate

[Mcgeezer]

Anyone know the typical growth rate for this type of coral? I have it under T5/4 bulbs about 9-10" from surface in middle of the tank.

Slow.

Slow.

Live aquaria says it grows fast....?

I know there's two types of species...not sure which I have.
the moonlights are on in pic so its kinda hard to see, but its dark purple with green polyps

Slower than Christmas, my Turbinaria Reniformis might have grown 3" in the last 4 years.Acro's and Monti's all grow at a fast rate.

huge +1....have had mine for about a year and haven't really seen any growth at all. The way i have it placed its close to a couple pieces of rock on the edge and hasn't gotten much closer in the almost year i've had it, maybe a few thousandths LOL....i have the same peice as well, the purple with bright green polyps

Mine has grown probably 5/8" since I got it 6 months ago. It's under 16w 50/50 led in a 3.4g

Can anyone tell me which turbinaria I have?

The second row of polyps from the edge is where it was when I got it
