Blastos & Duncans

My blastos:

There is some tissue recession due to an attack from frogspawn.
My Duncans:

I got them in February and they were just 2 heads. I would say I have had some growth.

Thanks!
I was pretty upset when I saw what happened to the blastos. I had not paid attention to how big the frogspawn had gotten.
I shall see what happens to it.

OMG, that head has almost regenerated all of the tissue that was lost. Pics to come.

Yeah. Duncan's grow like crazy.
Here is a pic of mine when I first got them. The pic is dated 4/1/2010 and there were 3 little heads.

Here is one from 9/28/2010. They had grown several new heads in a little under 6 months.

Here is a fairly recent photo. I just counted and there are at least 19 heads! He was recently mauled by a Bristletailed Filefish that I added to clean up Majano Anemones. His polyps have been withdrawn, but are coming out a little more each day.

What do you keep your dkH at? I've read that higher alk promotes faster stony coral growth. I keep my dkH around 9 - 10. Mine are aquacultured. I feed them a fairly often as well.
