Do all the various encrusting cyphastreas have the same growth rates? Meteor Shower is the most common and I wonder if that's because it's been around the longest or is it hardier and just easier to grow. Feel free to post pics if you've gottem.

Following and expanding.

I have a Meteor and I just got frags of a Sponge Bob and a Bizarro. I'd also be interested in hearing an answer to Curly's question.

Do they grow at different speeds? Are they all low light? Are some more delicate or are they all about the same?

I have a JF Fender Bender in my tank. It’s on the bottom of my tank with moderate flow and light and grows like a weed. I say mod light because it’s right under my Kessil A360WE at 92% intensity. Its a very small frag and is now starting to cover the rock the frag plug it’s glued on. I see new polyps almost daily now.
