growth rate of faviide frags?

I've had to frag a few of my faviide colonies over the past couple months. Any idea of the growth rate for favites/favia? Seems to be pretty slow. I don't see one of the quarter sized frags becoming a baseball size colony any time soon. Just curious about what to expect.

Once they heal you can expect the growth to slow dramatically. I have a Favia frag that is the exact same size as when I got it almost a year ago.

Agree that they seem to be really slow growing.
If you have a small frag, expect it to be close to the same size in a years time
