I would be interested to hear this as well. My wife has a old eclipse tank and I never saw one split. So how often what lights, where do you place them. Are you adding anything for them in general? What kinda flow? I am still new but these are my favorite thing and I would love to see them take off. Also how do you trade these, are they whole or are you fraggin them? And if so how do you frag these?

Just depends. There are many factors such as water quality, feedings, lighting. Mine seem to split faster when I remove the Mh and run PC for a few days every couple weeks or so. Feeding helps them along too.
I use MH 14k most of the time. Refugium is the only filteration besides LR. I also add iodine on daily basis. High nitrates are detrimental to ricordias.

Wow! What do you feed your rics? I have one that has doubled in size but has yet to split or grow another mouth (I've had it for maybe three or four months).
Thanks,
