DBTC: Sprung's Burning Bush

Hard to say exactly how much growth I have, since I look at everything on a daily basis, but I would say I have somewhere around 10% growth. Mainly looks more dense with more folds. Ideally I would like to have my frag doubled in size and give out frags equal in size to what I received, but if anyone is itching to get a piece, I do have a smaller frag
 
Mine is growing now. In my experience it seems to do better under a more standard, or blue, spectrum than when it was under a pink/red refugium light.

Anyone else having that, or maybe it was a coincidence things got better after I moved it?

100%.

Red algae tend to like bluer light is what I heard. All of mine grows in my display only

I have the same experience- I switched out the refugium light over the burning bush to a regular spectrum reef light just because it looks nicer, and also saw better growth after doing so
 
I gave a frag to @DaddyHook today.

My tuxedo doesn’t eat it, just wears it, tearing it up in the process. It seems to be on its way out in my tank as well. Which is unfortunate - while I don’t need to carpet my tank with the stuff, I do still want a piece here or there

Maybe i need an urchin hat to occupy him with

It's too busy eating the fresh bryopsis on the clear areas ;)

Use your spare kessil or radion in the sump. These burning red bush love blue or full spectrum. I can give you some before my rabbitfish eats them all

question - will a red grow light used for chaeto work or does it have to be blue/full spectrum?

I currently have it in my fuge using a chaeto grow light.

Mine didn't grow at all in red. That makes sense in that they color of a plant is based on light reflecting off it. Green plants don't really use green light. Red plants don't really use red light.

I switched to a coral color light and it started growing.
