    How fast do these grow and reproduce.

    There are too many factors to tell (lighting, placement, etc.)
    But most mushroom corals seem to be very fast growers and I would say candy canes are rather slow-medium growers.

    fairly quick...

    Some more than others so it all depends really. I've had a single red mushroom turn into 4 in the past couple months. A couple of my other mushrooms have split as well in that same time frame. I have a green candy cane or trumpet that has gone from 3 heads to 8 in a little over 4 months.
