My two crocea are exhibiting very different scute growth, that I can tell. The one I have had for a month came in with1/4" pearly white and is now up to 1/2 " new growth. My other one I have had for two weeks, shows no new growth that I am aware of.
The most recent one does not pull in its mantle as much as my other at night, so it is hard to tell about growth period. It lays tightly over the edge of the shell, and it is hard to see anything.
The only reason I post this as a concern is that someone on here noted that if maximas have no new growth they are more likely to perish due to
algae growth.
They are both in the 3-3.5" range, with the one with more growth a little smaller. It's mantle is also more blue, as if that makes a difference. If need be I think I can get a shot tomorrow night.
My Ca runs about 460-480 and dKh around 7, because I would rather err on the side of Ca uptake than to harm growth.
I worry altogether too much,
David
