Default How long until my coral starts growing?

I've had the majority of my coral for 2-3 months and I havn't really noticed a significant increase in population. The size of the polyps and everything are getting bigger, but they havn't started to spread out. Does it usually take about 6 months for this to start to occur?

Also while I was away, my dad bought me a strange blue coral. Very pretty, but I was unable to find any info about it. He told me that the guy at the LFS said it was called a blue smurf coral (figures that I couldn't find anything about it on the net). It is really cool and that is the only coral that I can visible recognize it growing. It has blue "bulbs" at the end of each stalk and after a week or two, the bulbs fall off and then the coral grows new stalks and bulbs, while keeping the old ones. When my lights come on in the tank, I'll post a pic or 2.
