Chalice getting thicker

[Shobloth]

I have a Pectinia chalice (my avatar pic) in my tank for about 2 months now and its gotten progressively thicker. wondering if this is a good sign, i've steadily raised calcium / magnesium levels and wondered if this has anything to do with it.

is it a good sign for a chalice to get thick?

thanks

ive always found if there is more flow coral that have a skeleton have a tendancy to make that skeleton thicker, than thoes in a lower flow...

just my experiance

Agreed^.

I would assume this is because the coral is trying to grow in pattern that allows for the betterment of itself long term. Is your pectina in higher flow?
