Question about RBTA's Splitting

I have a pretty large RBTA that has been in my tank for 8 months. He has never wondered having affixed himself fairly deep into my rock work the day after he was introduced to the tank. I believe he is very healthy, and I feed him once per week. (silverside)

I think he is beginning to split. I'm wondering how long the process takes? A day or two, or is it more like a week?
