The colony I had all of the heads were roughly the same size, and it spread kind of like zoas...about the same speed too

it ended up being a cluster of about 100 heads before my hydno decided to fall on them and quickly dispose of them

I have had mine 2 years and they are that size. Havn't grown. From what I have read they stay about that size.
