    I just want to make sure I am right here, but I think my Ricodrea split. I see a second green mouth in the bottom lower left.

    Run like hell!!!! JK

    I think I just let it grow and have it keep splitting. Idk what they are worth, maybe trade it for more coral down the road.

    Yep, you have a baby ric for sure. We got a single ricordea very similar to yours about a year ago. Now we have about 20 of them. The original just kind of moves around (super slowly, like an inch or two a month) and leaves what look like green slime behind. Those then turn in to new ones.
