torch coral question

im still learning. so my next question is , do torches grow new heads by splitting? or by growing a whole new shoot?

 

i would say buy splitting or budding what every you call it. a new shoot must start on the living part of the coral(fleshy heads). as those are the individual polyps. the skeleton or shoots(not fleshy) is just a skeleton the polyp leaves behind, so its not alive and wont grow anything out of it.

 

Its starts with splitting of the heads.

 

cool thnx for the help. looks like im getting a new head then.

 

Mine right before it split looked like a figure 8 shape then two different heads I would say a week later.

I have a candy cane that splits like mad.
