gena Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Here's mine. I just had to cut the green yesterday to give more light to my blastos below. I didn't have the heart to toss the neon cuttings so I plopped them on teh rocks for now. THey are puffing up too much and touching some palys now. I'll have to take them to the LFS for credit . 2 Quote Link to comment
SaltyBuddha Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I bought a pretty small puny looking neon green candy cane. It has been in my tank for maybe a month and a half and it is growing really slow. It puffs up and is getting bigger, but it has not been a fast process. I feed it mysis shrimp every once in awhile and it loves that. If it is putting out tentacles and puffing up with the lights on, I would say it is healthy and it will grow at its own pace. You can always feed it mysis shrimp if you want it to grow a little faster. 1 Quote Link to comment

Wow nice!! I love Blastos. I'm wanting to get the dark red encrusting type... 24 minutes ago, SaltyBuddha said: I bought a pretty small puny looking neon green candy cane.

Hence my favorites being Blastos and Acans right now. 2 Quote Link to comment
fishfreak0114 Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 I have a two headed candy cane in a similar color to yours. In a year and a half, I don't think it has grown at all. On the other hand, I have one in a different color that has grown from one head to three in a year. Quote Link to comment

Seems like everyone agrees the type I have are slow growers. I came home from work and it looks decent today so I have hope! Quote Link to comment
