any one frag rics or shrooms?

Anyone want to tell me how long it should take for my rics to fully heal 100% if I cut them in 1/2?

Also if I cut my mushrooms in to 4 pieces how long should they take to heal 100%?

That all depends on several factors:

Water Quality
Initial Health of Coral
Light Intensity

I know when I cut mine into 1/3's it took maybe 2 -3 months before they were whole again.

Hope that helps some

I would guess the small pieces turn from a pie shape to a circle in about 3 weeks or so, and it takes a couple months for that little piece to grow back into a full mushroom. YMMV. I have a difficult time keeping track because I frag mushrooms so often that they never get full sized. As soon as they look like little circles, I start hacking them.
