Have you considered maybe mounting a frag horizontally to see if it grows faster? I have heards hypothesis suggesting that the multiple upturned points insted of just one allow for the coral to acheive an overall larger size quicker from having several main stalks instead of just one.

I've got several reseach projects planned now that the frag tank is finally setup.
I had always planned to use the Tonga branch as reefplugs, but just wanted to do the frags with both types at the same time so that I could compare growth results using 4 types of reef plugs, Ceramic, Aragonite, LR rubble & those made from Tonga branch
.
I also plan on mounting frags in various ways, both horizontal and vertical, I have my eye on a couple of pieces that are very similar in size, shape and thought that it would be interesting to see how they respond being mounted horizontal
.
Next are the Acans and blastos.....I'm using basic stuff right now, just until I'm a little more secure in my fragging skills, then I'll start on my Micros..

micros...... thats a scary proposition, so expensive.
acans are tough when it comes to holding up to the abuse of fragging, they handle it fairly well.

The more I think about this, the more I like these "Tonga Chips", I might even skip using the Boston plugs and just use these, several report have indicated that the corals encrust faster over dead coral....Plus these will look so much better when added to a reef.........I might even start selling them....
