    Just bought 2 heads of candy cane coral. How long will it take them to split?

    Several weeks if you feed them daily, longer if you don't

    depends on your params and if you target feed them..I have two different kinds,they only catch what they can when I feed the fish and I seem to get a new head or so once twice a month(again I dont target feed)..good luck they seem to to well if you cal,alk,mag are in check..

    You can feed them small meaty food when their tentacles come out. You want to target feed so turn down your flow.
