Anubias barteri ''coffeefolia'' is a very beautiful, low variety of Anubias barteri. It is characteristic that the leaves arch considerably between the leaf ribs, and the new leaves are red-brown. The colour combination and leaf shape make it an attractive variety in both large and small aquariums. It flowers frequently under water but does not produce seeds there. Anubias species seem to grow so slowly that they do not realise that they have been submerged. It is not eaten by herbivorous fish. [TROPICA]

my coffeefolia grows rather fast (for a anubias) with co2 injection and high light. think thats normal with such conditions, is it ?

HI Samuel, I think it could be the abundant of CO2 that you provide. How about take a pic and show?
Seen that you have high light for your low maintenance setup. How big is your tank.?
