How easy is it to frag a candy cane corall..Would you just cut it like you were pruining a tree?

The "branches" break off rather easily, they also seem to do better when they get pruned back once in a while.

how do candy canes multiply? Do they split? I bought one with 3 heads, but I see some have 15 or 20. Will mine do that or do I have to do something to it?

How long did it take for it to multiply? I'm wonder if maybe mine was on the verge of death. I feed it mysis shrimp 2-3x a week, but it always seems hungry. EVERY morning it's tenticles are out. Should I feed it every day or only 2-3 times a week?
here is a pic when I first got it mabe a month ago

here is a picture I took today. I used flash so it came out a diff. color

Ooops, sorry for stealing your thread watson.

yep, the tenticles will always come out at night to catch what it can...i feed mine a couple times a week, just have patience and it'll start splitting
