I would have to agree with uncle. Random light to medium flow is the best. Anything more and I have seen them shrink

How long has it been in your tank. If it grew to 75 heads in that spot it’s hard to say flow or light
Also I would check for pest Did it or a few heads see if anything falls off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
