    i bought some corals like frog spawn, elegance and candy cane corals. their bodies are hard and the heads are soft. will the hard parts grow in time or will they be that size forever?

    The diameter of the exposed body on the frog spawn and candy cane will not change but each branch will ge long and branch out. The elegance will add to the top of its body in an ever larger diameter.
