just something i noticed.. was wondering if anyone had the same experience.. i have a small golf ball sized frag of galaxia that when i got was about the size of a nickel.. what i have noticed is the higher the flow i place it the more sweepers it has and the longer they are.. the sweepers are easily 4 plus inches and about 10 of them if not more.. when it is in lower flow, it has maybe 1 or 2 sweepers at about an inch to two inches.. just sharing what i have noticed with my galaxia.. they are awesome pieces but they are just so angry..lol..

Yes, I have read and experienced the same thing. The thing I have been wondering is why? Are the long sweepers grabbing food in the water flow? The second thing is does it matter? As long as the sweepers can not get to other corals.

Yep,
More flow = longer sweepers! Galaxy is one of my favorites. I try and keep mine in a lower flow zone as to not instigate sweepers.

They also sweep for space.
