Coral Growth

I have some corals and my tend go grow really slowly, guess its hard to tell much difference when you look at them everyday.. I know my green star polyps are growing more and more... but would a 8 month old PC lighting cause them not to grow as well as go ahead and replacing bulbs and getting new lighting..

What size tank is it? The better the lighting, the more growth you will see...

There could be any number of things going on in your tank that might be inhibiting coral growth. Could just be the coral themselves...slow growers. Do you have any pictures from 6 months ago that you can use for comparison?
