There was a trend of the 3, 4 and 5 polyp frags growing well over 3 times the polyps of the 1 and 2 polyp frags- and there were very few reports of losses from the larger polyp count vs. the small polyp counts.

This topic is the exact topic I was following the entire time the growout contest went on. I learned a lot about polyps during this contest. One of the biggest reasons I got in on it in the first place.

Most of my frags came from very small colonies, once they reached 12+ polyps, and I fragged 5+ heads when possible. I got great growth out of the 5 polyp frags vs. the original 3 or 4 polyp frags. I ended up getting some great growth over all this way.
