    Everything seems to be splitting all at once in my tank.

    2 rics, a hairy shroom, and a branching hammer creating it's first branch.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    That is great! Always nicer than having to buy corals to fill in space.

    A little TLC!. Honestly I have no idea why they decide when to do this. If I did I would get them to do it all the time. These are all first time splits for me.

    Yeah, when I started into corals I decided I wanted to start everything small so I could watch it grow in the tank.

    Yup.... I have a dozen or so in my tank. They like intense amounts of flow and light. They do not spread extremely fast either, which is kinda nice. They do get pretty big. I have several that are almost 4 inches across.
