How to formulate this question.....let's see. Okay, say you have an acro that came out of the ocean, a humilus, for example. By virtue of its growth habits, it's a very thick-branched cluster acro that appreciates high light and high flow. Say if you wanted to break a piece off....well, its tough to do since it's a very dense acro. Then say you had that same colony in your tank, had high light and high flow, albeit not the same as the ocean, of course. Say your calcium was just slightly under 400 for a year. Would you expect that same acro will assume the calcium it needs and just grow much slower than it would in the wild, or at an expense to its strength it grows the same but becomes more brittle?
