What salt did you change from and to? I also have one that hasn't been growing much since I bought it 2 months ago. I'm using Seachem Reef.

Mine has taken off too! From 1 head to about 6. It has also dropped 2 babies with attached skeletons. I'm not sure what to do either, it stings the heck out of anything that comes near it.

Best thing to do is frag it. I know its really nice to look at when its big but it can cause issues like you are seeing...

Mine started out as the piece in my avatar. I accidently broke it in two and it grew from those for awhile. I had about 30 heads on one side and 25 on the other after some time and fragged one side and sold it. I split the other side half in two and cut it down to about 5 heads on each side. Well today I have 2 sides again that have at least 30 heads each on them and its crowding my other corals again.

I love the look of them when they get big but they can sting other stuff around them.... You can make a few bucks in the process selling the frags and getting more corals or supplies for the tank
