No need to apologize.

It is not. It looks like what I described earlier: your gauge
conditions, in particular the shift condition, isn't well suited for the
small black hole. Grid points are "falling in", making it appear growing
on the computational grid. You may try to play with the values such that
the small black hole evolves fine (you can try that with a simulation of
only a small black hole of that size), but then you might find that the
large black hole "vanishes from the grid" because grid points there are
pushed out too much. If this is the case, you might need
position-dependent values.
