if that is too slow for you you might want to stick to discus keeping, I personally think that amount of growth is normal, you have to be concerned when there is no growth at all, you seem to be doing all the right things, so you have to have patience young jedi :yes:

Is it a merletti or a wellsi, if it's a wellsi that is somewhat quick growing, they don't grow fast. Merletti's grow quicker so that may be what you have.

Actually I have a blasto and some of the polps are comming off, the rest of my corals are doing fine but some of my zoo's and the blastoma are shedding some of the polyps.
My water parameters are fine and the sps in the tank are doing fine.
By the way the growth on the blastoma is about 2/3 polyps every 3 months
any suggestions?

i think it is a wellsi but im not sure here is a pic of it.any suggestions on other foods to target feed with?thanks for info.

It is a wellsi. Daily target feedings of mysis or cyclopeeze would help it grow faster.
