encouraging coral growth

[hops523]

Awhile ago I got a kenya tree frag(only one stack) that was attached to some rubble rock/shells. I super glued the rubble rock to a larger rock, so it could spread. I havent had the frag for too long, but now I am beginning to think that it isnt going to spread, because I got a small colony of zoas after I got the kenya tree and the zoas are spreading quite quickly(two more polyps popped up this morning). Is there anything I can do to encourage spreading or growth? I can post some pics if needed.
Also I have a frogspawn coral with two heads, how will this guy spread/grow?

To encourage best growth resist the urge to move the pieces.
Kenya might take a bit to get itself rooted, but never more than about a week. Do a full breakdown check for your water. If everything is on target, then just ignore the Kenya and it will bloom and spread like mad.

Yeah I dont move my coral. Except for when my frogspawn somehow falls out of the rock crevice I have it in, and I have to put it back, or put it in a different spot where I think it wont fall. But the kenya has been in the same spot. Im wondering if I somehow accidently glued a part of the kenya, instead of the rubble rock. Or if that would even matter.

Kenya is extremly durable stuff. You could use duct tape for fragging it and I am sure it would overcome it.
Bookmark this post and revisit it in 6 months. You will look back and laugh at how crazy it gets going once it gets takes off.

My kenya trees go in cycles of growth and propogation. When I first got my kenya tree it grew like crazy for a while and then stopped for a while then it started to propogate. It repeated this cycle until it grew large enough to fill the spot I had placed it in and now it continuosly grows new branches and sheds the old and never gets any bigger.
